Hekmat 174 • حکمت ۱۷۴

The Mirror of Intellect

عقل کا آئینہ

📜
Original Arabic • متنِ عربی

مَنِ اسْتَبَدَّ بِرَأْيِهِ هَلَكَ، وَمَنْ شَاوَرَ الرِّجَالَ شَارَكَهَا فِي عُقُولِهَا.

Urdu Translation • اردو ترجمہ

جو اپنی رائے پر اڑ گیا وہ ہلاک ہو گیا، اور جس نے دوسروں سے مشورہ کیا وہ ان کی عقلوں میں شریک ہو گیا۔

English Translation • انگریزی ترجمہ

“Whoever is self-opinionated meets destruction, and whoever consults others shares in their intelligence.”

Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ provides a profound metaphor for **Collective Wisdom**. He suggests that our individual intellect is limited by our personal experiences and biases. By consulting others, we aren’t just getting “advice”—we are literally borrowing their brainpower. This “Mirror of Intellect” allows us to see the flaws in our own thinking and benefit from a clarity that one person alone can rarely achieve.
