In the book of Proverbs, in a metaphorical way, wisdom is personified, becomes a person, and in this manner, just as a mother calls to her children, she invites us to live according to her ways through a beautiful spiritual quote:
"Now then, my children, listen to me;
blessed are those who keep my ways" Proverbs 8:32.
Blessed are those who choose me, this personified wisdom tells us, because in knowledge is the light and the mental sanity. Blessed tells us, but the beatitude is a state of the soul different from happiness, the beatitude of the soul is inner peace, joy, meekness, and unconditional love (Agape) that is transmitted to others.
Wisdom is perfect, benevolent, empathetic, and generous, that is why she seeks the best and the most excellent for us, wisdom seeks that we edify and that we become similar to God: "You must be perfect with your God" Deuteronomy 18:13; to discard wisdom as a spiritual mother is to adore death and darkness.
For all this, the wisdom, the most important metaphysical entity that exists, continues with the teaching:
"Listen to my instruction and be wise;
do not disregard it.
Blessed are those who listen to me,
watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.
For those who find me find life
and receive favor from the LORD.
But those who fail to find me harm themselves;
all who hate me love death" Proverbs 8:33-36.
This teaching is very similar to what is explained in Psalm 1, there are two paths and two returns, the opposite of the path of wisdom is the path of error. If we condition our path to greed and fear, forgetting wisdom, nothing good will come out of this choice, because sooner or later the destructive unforeseen events, the "stumbling rocks", will hinder our path through life.
Like a hidden treasure, in wisdom are the deepest mysteries of the universe, and to discover its secrets is to find the ultimate answers to human destiny and life. Wisdom as a beautiful and generous mother invites us to discover her secrets and especially "eternal life" and "immortality".
