My mentor reinforce this in me today:
Four Levels of Wisdom
(1) Cleverness - where one utilise his/her skills to benefits himself or herself only. Until the part when everyone starts to find out and dislike him/her they will be force to learn the next level.
(2) Wisdom - the most basic wisdom when one is able to use his/her skills or knowledge to help another being. However, one will be stuck at this level with many judgements about others. One create labels here of what is right or wrong. There will be so much labels that only in meditation one can clear one's mind and move to the next level of wisdom.
(3) Panna - Wisdom withOUT I. Wisdom that is not based upon subjective views. That is selfless of the good of all. Being able to use one's knowledge on a neutral level. Able to use his/her skill and knowledge for the good of all humanity.
(4) Bodhi - Defines as "absolute noble wisdom that sees the true nature of things leading to the extinction of all dukkas(suffering) and opens the door to absolute freedom (nibbana)"
