"The societies can never be creative. The battle to create wisdom for his benefit the man has to fight alone. However, this is only a powerful hypothesis based on the history of mankind, which needs not only pondering over, but also experimentation and investigation for its future use. Even if the man is able to create the wisdom, often, nothing changes. A wisdom that is idle is like a currency that is not in circulation. What do we do with all the wisdom that exists in our scriptures? Even if we leave aside our scriptures for whatever reasons, do we seriously try to mould our conduct according to the wisdom we ourselves might have created with a view to verifying its workability? Perhaps, we never did it. There is no element of ‘wonder’ in our relationship with our surroundings. Maybe, we have to infuse the element of wonder in our relationship with the societies we are a part of. If we had ever tried to conduct ourselves according to the wisdom available from wherever, we would have felt the dire need to seek support of fellow human beings in our efforts to verify the usefulness of wisdom for the mankind. The history of the mankind has proved that the wisdom always percolates down the layers of the humanity to refine itself through the individual efforts of many. Whenever the need of collective efforts surfaces; the need of wonderful words appears."
