Knowledge is a thing you can carry around with you, but you may not apply it. Some knowledge is indiscriminate, and it can be damaging. I recently found a wonderful definition of wisdom: It is that thing which results in the maximum good and the least harm.

The sexual act - separating that from love itself - is centered solely in the body, whereas spirituality is connected to the whole self.

You can go much further with the spiritual.
