Wisdom
The day of your birth you were invited to play a game, the life game. But you did not know anything about it. You did not know what the goal was. You did not even know the rules. But you were already in the game.
Then the task for each of us is to get to know who we are, the rules of the game and the meaning of our participation. It may sounds easy but actually it is not quite easy. It takes the whole life to get that knowledge. Every day you know more about yourself, the rules and the meaning of your life. It can be said that as long as you are gaining this knowledge you are gaining wisdom.
The first assignment is to know yourself. The easy way is to believe that you are what other say you are. This approach helps, but it is not enough. The true way to know yourself is to look inside you, to regularly close your eyes and meet yourself. A regular meditation practice is invaluable. The short times of trance enlighten.
The second assignment is the easiest one: to know the rules of the game. You learn the rules by the family, the school, the social relations, etc. You learn through instructions, examples, thinking, research, rewards, punishments, etc. It is easy. All of us has a sixth sense that gives huge information. Even dreams interpretation is useful. But, in any case, remember that life is a love poem.
As you know who you are and the rules of the game, you are able to accomplish the third assignment: to know the meaning of your life. You have to know for what purpose you are here and now. This is the real dilemma. You have to take care of your destiny.
As you work in these assignments you get more wisdom.
