Artfulness In The Application of Knowledge.

 

artfulness means knowing how to apply the knowledge wisely.

 

The benefits we will get from planting apple trees depend o their productiveness. At the first period of planting called the pre-pro-ductivity stage, the apple trees have only trunks, branches and leaves.

 

Our knowledge or being well educated is compared to pre-self-preparation before working.

 

The knowledge will be useful to us when we know how to apply it to bring forth the most benefits for ourselves and for all.

 

In the core of Buddhism, artfulness means knowing how to apply the knowledge wisely.

 

No matter how intelligent a person is he/she could not succeed in life if they do not know how to apply it wisely, which is the same as the proverb, “Overwhelmed with knowledge, one still does not survive”. This proverb is accurate because a knowledgeable person is not always a capable person.

 

Knowing “How to act wisely” is something we create with real intention.

 

The benefits we will get from planting apple trees depend o their productiveness.

1. Putting faith in what we intend to do.

2. Being healthy without diseases.

3. Not flaunting oneself as a vehicle to acquire now knowledge.

4. Not exhibiting laziness but perseverance towards achieving new knowledge.

5. Having wisdom that reflects having alwise teacher, and displaying good consideration.

One who is skilled in the art of only finding others faults do not dare to pursue any kind of work since they are afraid of being blamed by others. This type of person will have no skill and could do nothing for theor livlihood.
