At what age should a man expect to become wise?
At what age does a man become wise?
Is not something that can lead to surprise.
A thirty year old can be wiser,
Than the so called old advisor,
Who is a nincompoop in clever disguise.
Wisdom is rarely the function of age,
It doesn’t come to people at some life’s stage.
If you don’t learn from experience,
Then there is hardly any difference,
Between you and a person in his teenage.
Let Life teach you on each and every occasion,
Through casual encounters and persuasion.
Just keep ears and eyes open,
Pay heed to what is written and spoken,
And live not in theory but in it’s application.
Wisdom doesn’t fall in lap but is earned and learnt,
Sometimes it is even something that is unlearnt.
How you face each situation,
Stays in your mind’s compilation,
Like a program on the mind’s disc is burnt.
Age and wisdom are not always correlated.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.

Superb post PaaJi

Indeed just by the calendar age, we get to be old foggies
.
but actually life is too short to make all the mistakes by oneself and learn from them.
.
Real wise are the ones who learn from others mistakes.

ध्रुव प्रहलाद नचिकेता बचपन से ही विलक्षण बुद्धि को प्राप्त थे इतने बड़े होने के बाद भी हम में से बहुत उनकी बुद्धि को समझ तक नहीं सकते उस तक पहुंचना तो बहुत दूर की बात है.
.
Unfortunately in the consumer driven market place that the world has been made many has been set as the benchmark index of wisdom although money by itself cannot give us anything except misery
.
Of making money when one is short of it of securing the money when someone has plenty of it from theft and income tax and then the ones to inherit.
We can’t eat so we sacrifice it for product by itself even the product has no meaning if for example you are not at home I will not leave the AC ON in the room,
So the body has higher importance than the products the money could buy,
.
We all know the body of every human being and every living being is made out of five elements the Air, Water Earth Fire and Sky,
.
But one is called a Thief another a gentleman and handful the saints all having the same body the importance therefore is of enlightenment level that they have *attained*
And for that age is not the index,
one may achieve it at 13 as Guru Nanak Dev and Mahatma Mangat Ram did, Dhruv Prahlad Nachiketa did even younger,
.
It comes from understanding the Supreme Lord and his ways, through purity of heart & thought
and purpose of human life,
And the actions to get us near to the GOD
and refrain from ones that draw us away from HIM
.
the real wisdom and the real aging,
To have a life directed towards the real goal and not the artificial one.

Satguru Vachan hirday dharo Pawan Kalyan Guru Samjha tha na koi jo khoje in Jahan
सतगुरु वचन हिरदे धरो,
मार्ग पाओ कल्याण।
गुरु सम दाता ना कोई,
जो खोजें तीन जहान ।।
एको सिमरो नानका, जो जल थल रह्या समाए।
दूजा काहे सिमरिये, जो जम्मे ते मर जाए।।
प्रेम सम ना बंदगी, योग, तप और दान।
‘मंगत’ बिना प्रेम के, मिले ना निर्मल ज्ञान।।
