Based on the teachings in Chapter 47, how is a 'truly wise' person defined?

📖 Chapter 47

Chapter 47 provides a clear definition of a truly wise person, distinguishing wisdom from mere intellectual learning. While it notes that the highly learned can be deceived by Karma, the faithful are saved. The chapter concludes by defining true wisdom through action and purpose. It states that the one who should be known as "truly wise" is he who "does not waste the priceless opportunity of human birth until attaining self-knowledge" before the body falls. This emphasizes that wisdom lies in using one's life for the ultimate goal of self-realization, not just accumulating knowledge.
