What is a Clever & Intelligent Wise One?

A certain bhikkhu once asked the Blessed Buddha:
Venerable Sir, it is said: Clever and wise, clever and wise...
In what way, Venerable Sir, can one rightly be called clever and wise ?
Bhikkhu, it is because one has indeed developed and cultivated these
Seven Links to Awakening that one rightly is called clever and wise !!!
What seven?

1: The Awareness Link to Awakening.
2: The Investigation Link to Awakening.
3: The Energy Link to Awakening.
4: The Joy Link to Awakening.
5: The Tranquillity to Awakening.
6: The Concentration Link to Awakening.
7: The Equanimity Link to Awakening.

It is because one has indeed developed and made much of these
Seven Factors of Enlightenment that one is called clever and wise...
