There are three types of wisdom, or

three stages in one’s understanding.

First is the stage of hearing or learning,

the initial stage when you read or hear

about something. The second stage is

when, after learning, you think about

the issue of the topic constantly, and

through constant familiarity and

thinking, your understanding becomes

clearer. Then at that time you begin to

have certain feelings or experiences.

This third stage is called ‘meditatively

acquired wisdom’. This is when you not

only intellectually understand the

subject matter but also, through

meditative experience, are able to feel it.
