A Great Mind Or A Wise Mind?

The essence of mind is ethereal pure consciousness without thoughts. When pure consciousness forgets its essence, it clings to thoughts, which creates the characteristic of a self. Consciousness then becomes materialistic.

People admire someone with a ‘great’ mind who invents things or who has skills. When a ‘great’ person dies, people talk about their achievements, rather than whether they realised the truth of being.

Blindly, we try to emulate these ‘great’ minds, and even want to be recognised for admiring them. This a psychological trap of intellectualisation – the world is ruled by clever inventions, after all.

The formulations in the mind can invent beneficial or harmful things, but what is beneficial to one may be harmful to another, as in splitting the atom, adding sugar to food, believing words to be truth ….

Realising the essence of mind of empty cognisance is wisdom,
where nothing is created but by which everything is known.

Wisdom knows.
Great minds know about.
