Wisdom is more superior than knowledge. In Sanskrit knowledge means Gyan whereas Wisdom means Pragya. Wisdom always comes from our subjective experience.

Knowledge is information. Wisdom is application/analysis on that information. Knowledge/Wisdom are like Engineering/Technology. Engineering programs focus on theory and conceptual design. Technology programs focus on application and implementation. Even Discovery and Invention too are analogous to Knowledge and Wisdom. A discovery is recognizing something that already exists for the first time, that nobody has found before, e.g. how Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas. An invention is creating something totally new with one’s own ideas and development. Although an invention is completely new to the world, the physical material needed for its production already exists, innovated from the ideas and experiences of the individual. Thus making inventions unique. Creating all the material into something with the concepts of + ? × and ÷ is what invention is all about. The combination of available material has no limits, e.g. how Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. read less
