Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do

How can you recognize this inner wisdom as being true and correct?  How does someone act when they are firmly centered in that wisdom?  A person who is undisturbed by difficulties because they have let go of their personal desires is anchored in this steady wisdom.  This wise person is free of mental attachments to the temporary circumstances of this world and thus does not suffer anxiety when things are difficult.  He or she is free from fear and anger.  Whoever is free of attachment is not overly excited when good things happen nor dejected when things go badly, that person is wise, indeed.
