A Muni has the capability of original thinking , having specific insights into something of the philosophies , sciences, or theological considerations . One could say realisations . Artists of all sorts occasionally have these original insights, and expression in their arts or music, etc, are enjoyed, which help the “common man ” think deeply.
Thoughtfulness is the real quality of human life.
Such Muni’s are very rare , most people are followers or give independent interpretations of the original Muni , but they can often mislead or they can help making the original ideas clearer .
When gathering knowledge of any topics , one should understand the character of the person and their authentication , how does he or she know , and how they know they know .
In Vedic culture, “Sabdha” is truth from a truthful person , those who follow the great philosophical thinkers, the great sciences ,the great theologians, and who can in a balanced way with thoughtfulness, contemplations and importantly through Divinity who is within the heart , make sense of everything and apply knowledge practically and appropriately.
Every one should be careful and accept various “Siksa ” ( instructing persons) of different forms for sometimes different subjects, importantly they should always prey to God , who in everyone’s heart , to make truth known . The truthful will always find truth . Truth is absolute but also relative, the mature person has this widom of applications.
Every culture throughout the world has truth and wisdom within it by Divinities will , as does, of course, theological cultures . Scientific research reinforces truth , it is objectively seen . In all cases, objective science without fail does this . Subjective guessing or dishonest “science ” will mar truth , guessing generally takes one into ones own subjective realm , whereas the Super subjective realms display one truth that is applicable to everything, and has connections to everything and everyone.
