3140 Wisdom is spiritual knowledge....

May 30, 1944: Book 41

Wisdom is spiritual knowledge that fully corresponds to the truth. Wisdom is knowledge which, exhausted in its entire depth, makes people unspeakably happy; it is knowledge which can never ever be refuted because wisdom cannot withstand any counter-knowledge. And that is why wisdom must be of divine origin, because only from God alone can something emanate that is perfect and therefore cannot be criticized. God alone can hand out knowledge which has this claim to perfection because His nature is wisdom itself. Human knowledge, however, will always be and remain an object of dispute, for it will never be inviolable but will change, just as the people who have acquired the knowledge intellectually change. The human being believes himself to be knowledgeable as soon as he has completed his research in one area, but whether it is the right knowledge that corresponds to the truth is not proven. On the earthly side, proof can also be demanded and provided for worldly knowledge, in which case it is not groundless and the person now also rightly believes himself to be knowledgeable.... However, this knowledge is not yet wisdom.... Earthly knowledge can be acquired through research, but spiritual knowledge.... wisdom.... is imparted to man by the spirit of God, by a knowing power that cannot err and also never passes on erroneous thoughts. Wisdom is therefore the truth transmitted by God in its purest form.... Anyone who has received wisdom from God will no longer find earthly knowledge desirable, for the wisdom from God constantly increases his desire for it, and it is now the most precious commodity for the human being which he no longer wants to give away and which he does not want to replace with earthly knowledge either. For the wise person knows that earthly knowledge has no eternal value and that it is not irrefutable either; he knows that the success of earthly knowledge is again only earthly possessions, honor and fame, whereas divine wisdom enables the human being to achieve the ultimate goal.... to become perfect on earth and to enter the spiritual kingdom as a being of light.... For divine wisdom carries power within itself, it enlightens the human being and makes him capable of work on earth, which he carries out in the service of the lord.... it enables him to hand out spiritual knowledge again and to lead countless souls to knowledge and to show them the way to God. Wisdom emanates from God and leads all beings back to Him, Who is wisdom Himself....
