Wisdom Quote by Ayisha Bhatti — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Wisdom lives in silence. Not the wisdom of accumulated information, which is only knowledge, but the wisdom that comes from sitting with experience long enough to understand what it was actually teaching. Hurry gives us events. Silence gives us meaning.”

“We have become, without realizing it, the most demanding audience our own life has ever had.”

“To trust the slow work of the sacred is to discover that the ground has always been there. That it was holding us before we noticed it. That the peace we were searching for in the resolution of our circumstances was available, all along, beneath them — in the stillness we kept moving too fast to find.”

“We lose, again and again, the present moment — which is not a poetic concept but the literal location of everything that has ever mattered to us.”

“The dark season is not a sign that we have failed the spiritual life. It is a sign that the spiritual life has reached the place where the deepest work can finally begin — the work that the easier seasons, with all their warmth and light, could never quite reach.”

“Where is the truth then? Where does truth exist, behind the lie, within the lie? Is truth that which we seek to know or that which we avoid knowing?”

“انني احترم حق كل انسان في ان يؤمن بما يعتقد انه الصواب، وانتظر أن أعامل بالمثل.”

“I didn't set out to discover a truth. I was actually sent to the Outer Fringes to conduct a chair census and learn some humility. But the truth inevitably found me, as important truths often do, like a lost thought in need of a mind.”

“Those who possess wisdom cannot just ladle it out to every wantwit and jackanapes who comes along and asks for it. A person must be prepared to receive wisdom, or else it will do him more harm than good. Moreover, a lout thrashing about in the clear waters of wisdom will dirty those waters for everyone else.”

“Definitions from Mulla Do-Piaza”

“Believing in what you don't know is as true as believing in what you know as long as your life is just an illusion.”
