Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; considers its ways and be wise! (NIV) We can consider and learn the ways of an ant so that we can be wise. What are their ways? (1) It is diligent. It labors for itself and does not burden others. (2) It has good social habit, always in constant communication with each other. (3) It has foresight. Proverb 6:8 says: it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.

The ant isn't restricted by words and thoughts of being an independent agent and inherently understands that he is part of the whole and acts accordingly. The lesson to me is that we need to understand that we are far more than just an ego in a bag of skin. We are the Whole. And we should act accordingly.
-
That they are industrious and work as a team.

Perhaps to follow without question. The whole 'wise' thing is just to placate the ego and lull you into believing that you're doing the right thing.
