The Wise
To understand what is a wise man, we have to study the metaphysical concepts of essence and substance. The essence is the main characteristic of the being. Example: the essence of man is reason, the essence of God is wisdom. The substance is that of what is preach. For example: when we talk about God, what we talk about? We talk about wisdom, the wisdom is the substance of God. When we talk about men? what we talk about? We talk about the person. The person is the substance of man.
In Metaphysics there is similarity when there is participation in the essence. Man and God have different essences, there is no likeness between man and God. And this is where the idea of the wise arises, a wise is a person with the essence of God: the wisdom. The wise is by his essence the bridge between men and the divine. Aristotle in his book, "Politics" explains that the good government depends of the leadership of the wise men and in the succession from a wise to another the quality of life in the community.

Spiritual Gift of Counsel
The Spiritual Gift of Counsel or the Art of Listening is the art of the wise.
In the Bible Solomon ask to God a heart that knows how to listen: "At Gibeon the Lord appeared during the night in a dream, and God said: Ask for whatever you want me to give you......So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong......The Lord was pleasant that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him.....I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart. 1 Kings 3: 1-12
Wisdom must be asked. The Art of listening is not prudence. The prudence is related with the faculties of the soul: imagination and fantasy. The spiritual gift of Counsel with the faculties of the spirit: intuition, inspiration, creativity.
The counsel is a spiritual gift, a perfection in religion is related with the Holy Spirit. Practical cases are: King Solomon and the two prostitutes, 1 Kings 3:1, Jesus and the denarius (Luke 20:25)
