Intellectual understanding is really not understanding at all; it is only a series of words...

 Intellectual understanding is really not understanding at all; it is only a series of words, and we think we understand those words and the content of those words, and we seem to think we understand the idea intellectually. But what you hear is unrelated to daily action, to a total limit, and communion is only possible when there is a direct relationship: communication then becomes much more interesting, much more vital, more significant, meaningful.

THE EVIDENCE-BASED INVESTOR

  https://www.evidenceinvestor.com/tag/j-krishnamurti/ J. Krishnamurti, one of the greatest teachers India has produced, writes this in his landmark book, Education and the Significance of Life: “The ignorant man is not the unlearned, but he who does not know himself, and the learned man is stupid when he relies on books, on knowledge and on authority to give him understanding. “Understanding comes only through self-knowledge, which is awareness of one’s total psychological process. “Thus education, in the true sense, is the understanding of oneself, for it is within each one of us that the whole of existence is gathered. What we now call education is a matter of accumulating information and knowledge from books, which anyone can do who can read. Such education offers a subtle form of escape from ourselves and, like all escapes, it inevitably creates increasing misery.”
