What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 02, 2008:
We all can get knowledge....
We can hear something that sounds wise and simply repeat it... like "we are all One"...or "I am no-thing"...
We even can repeat these words only for gratification or acknowledgment from others....
It is even possible to teach and give satsang, with only knowledge (or memory)...
But, when someone you love accuses you of something which they are wrong about, or calls you names and is directing anger towards you.... can you still say "We are One"?.... can you remain in that pain you are experiencing and accept it?... Can you still see the same essence you both share, while appearances and experiences are different?...
This is something we need to ask ourselves, and keep looking at in ourselves...
Knowledge is like the boat which carries us to the other shore... Wisdom is getting off the boat onto the other shore, which is totally unknown...
Knowledge is the teacher, the book, the satsang.... all helpful... but still not enough....
Wisdom is finding that teacher within.....beyond mind and thought... as living action (or non-action)...

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 25, 2008:
First, awareness that suffering is arising....
Then, acceptance and allowing of the suffering.... feeling in the body without denying....
acceptance that suffering is here in this moment, without judgement...
Then, looking at the cause of suffering.... what is the mind holding onto? Is it true?Do I want to follow this thought that is causing suffering and continue down this track to further suffering, for not only myself, but others as well ?
Turn and face the source of all thought...

I don't know....
Everything is constantly transforming,
Slowly changing
Moment by moment...
No big deal,
and yet amazing....
Nothing is as major a transformation
as birth
and next,
death....

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 17, 2008:
Peace is a good word to describe who I am....
Who we all are....
Method? There is none..
Peace is who I am.....
There are times, moments, in this living experience, where peace is not at the forefront of awareness, and a disturbance is....
This is totally OK....
There is no preference for peace to always be at the forefront of awareness....
Whatever arises is welcome and accepted....
In peace....
Then the disturbance actually starts to be that peace that is enveloping the disturbance.....
Peace is not preferred to disturbance....
Disturbance is not pushed away in favor of peace....
Accepting disturbance is the way to peace...
Is an act of peace...
