Summary

Q: What is the difference between learning and accumulating knowledge?

Do you see the difference between memorizing to pass exams, have a skill, get a job, and learning?

When you are learning mathematics or history you are accumulating information and it becomes almost automatic. The brain becomes mechanical. You are being programmed when you learn how to dance or to play football. You have been programmed to be a Hindu or a Christian. Do you realize this as a fact?

If in the same way you use knowledge of what you have learned about me, that becomes a memory, then it becomes a barrier and you don't look at me afresh.
