spiritual wisdom

Divine understanding gained

Spiritual wisdom is insight or understanding derived from religious faith, contemplative practice, or inner reflection rather than worldly experience or formal education.

It suggests knowledge about meaning, purpose, and right living that transcends the practical or intellectual: She sought spiritual wisdom from the monastery's elders.

The phrase often implies a deeper or more lasting truth than ordinary knowledge provides.
