Wisdom

Sorrow, illness, and failure are natural results of transgressions against God's laws. Wisdom consists in avoiding such violations and finding peace and happiness within yourself through thoughts and actions that are in harmony with your real Self. Govern your mind wisely by dwelling upon the positive aspects of life. 

Do not be satisfied with drops of wisdom from scanty earthly sources; rather, seek wisdom without measure from God's all-possessing, all-bountiful hands.

--Paramahansa Yogananda, in a "Para-gram"
