The astute person is of course very smart. However smart for the interests of the egos.
The astute person is very smart to get something. Usually very smart to get what the ego wants or what the minds sees as fair according usually to some hidden interests of one or another ego. Astuteness uses all the spiritual arguments it Can and makes its arguments very solid.
The astute person may win what it wants but at a price, in the process it can harm the precious flower of friendship, it can diminish respect, it can harm love, it can harm nobility and it can cost us by staining the genuine and open merits of the heart.
With astuteness we miss out on developing the heart.
The astute person hence wins the day, wins the arguement in the physical, but in the work, in the path, in the essence and in the Being loses...
