The Secret of Wisdom

What is this life all about? Who am I? Where have I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? What’s my Life’s purpose? How can I make the most of my Life?...

The Persian poet, sage and philosopher of love, Rumi, had this to say about wisdom: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” It is the wise who understand that true knowledge is self-knowledge; that the meaning of life lies in understanding one’s own mind.

One of the main goals of the GCGI has always been to seek wisdom, both ancient philosophy and modern thought, and to share these gems by making them both accessible to all and relevant to the way we live today.

To fulfill our mission, we have always done our utmost to bring the light of wisdom to everyday life. Read on to find out more.

Wisdom and Composing a New Life

Composing a New Life, it’s all about taking the broadest possible view of ideas, people, places, and things to make better choices for the long term. At the centre of it all is the notion of wisdom and taking action in the interest of the common good.

“Wisdom is the property of West and East together; it's the private garden of all humanity, a shared ocean of advancement for the sons and daughters of Adam. The profound knowledge leading to wisdom is a bowl which is uniting rather than segregating, a line drawn to encompass, not to dissect. A short glimpse across the flipped pages of history is enough to come across a handful of people who lived as lighthouses, illuminating the way to wisdom, despite using various languages and separate tools.”-Fethullah Simsek, The Fountain Magazine

What a gem of a book! I began to read it the other day and could not put it down until I finished it on the same day. I must admit, I really enjoyed myself reading about things that many of us take for granted. After all, these are all common sense, but it is a pity that so many have lost touch with these values, principles and ways.

Thus, the time is now to reconnect with some common sense!
