Common Sense vs Wisdom
(difference common sense wisdom - difference common sense wisdom)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Common sense is guided by our intellect and intellect is the knowledge gained out of books and experiences. It is nowhere related to wisdom. As we proceed on the journey of life we are guided by two factors... our intellect (aka Buddhi in Hinduism) and the wisdom directly gained from God Almighty.

Wisdom (aka Jnana in Hinduism) is gained by two means... through the sacred scriptures available on Mother Earth and the power of Shruti (through which every human being can directly invoke wisdom from the reservoir of mind plus).

Those who invoke wisdom directly through Shruti... need not read anything... not even the sacred scriptures! The wisdom flows to them as words of God... in the manner as flows the songs from a radio station to an individual transistor or a radio.

In the journey of life we require both... the common sense and the wisdom! Common sense is necessary in day-to-day affairs of life. If we desire to travel the spiritual path... wisdom is necessitated. In the normal affairs of life... gaining wisdom is not an essential must! The reason why most people take the simpler religious path!
