According to Martin Luther King "We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobile rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind"
The scripture do likewise tells us about wisdon in general, "James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him."
Spiritual wisdon is something like this ....
Rudolph Eucken writes - "Religion is not merely a belief in some supreme Power, nor do I consider it to be the establishment of relations of any kind between this supreme Power and ourselves. It is an inner identification with it and the creation of a new life through it... The union of the Divine and human nature is the fundamental truth of religion, and its deepest mystery consists in the fact that the Divine enters the compass of the Human without impairing its Divinity. With this new phase life is completely renewed and elevated. Man becomes immediately conscious of the infinite and eternal, of that within him which transcends the world. For the first time the love of God becomes the ruling motive of his life, and brings him into an inner relation with the whole scope of reality... It is here that we find a new self, our true spiritual self."
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Religion says, Believe our way or you are going to hell. The only way God will accept you is if you believe our way.
Spirituality on the other hand says, Here is a truth — accept it if it resonates with you. If it brings you peace and feels right to you. If it troubles you, let it go. If you cannot accept it, let it go. Spirituality does not try to control you. It does not limit God, for limiting you limits God.
Religion is man's idea of God. Spirituality is God.
I am not saying we must disregard religion. It too is a path and has brought many truths to our lives. I am saying we cannot let it dictate to us that it is the only way.
KNOWLEDGE is acquired through the learning process. While WISDOM is the ability to apply this knowledge through experience, without having to think about what you are doing. From within the silence and stillness of the mind and body comes the remembering. Within the remembering of the core of knowledge, past learned, lies the inherent knowing of the body stored as experience. This is the source of spiritual wisdom. Beyond that lies the Absolute.

Very good question. Many of us believe that spiritual wisdom comes from within: "Be still and Ye shall know."
That is not to say that spiritual wisdom cannot be found in books and by listening to people who are divinely inspired. I believe that you know truth when you listen and when you ask that still voice within you to help you in your understanding.
I believe that all seekers of truth are rewarded for their efforts:
"Ask and Ye shall receive." We are all part of a universal life force and it is our purpose in life to find that spiritual energy and become one with it.
Edit: Thank you nola_caj, and I agree with you - ultimately, it is our own experiences which matter.

It is Wisdom that can only come from The Holy Spirit.
James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
-It is a gift of God and takes some work on our part too.
As we grow in Him, obviously so does our Wisdom.

Tater is correct. Wisdom is given by God to those who try and live as He wishes. Being obedient to God and trying to abstain from any sinful activity -and also helping others.

It can be found in Jesus he is referred to truth and wisdom. Can be found in prayer by asking for it.
