If we cannot practice what we learned then that knowledge is of no use either to us or for others

अज्ञेभ्यः ग्रन्थिनः श्रेष्ठाः

ग्रन्थिभ्यो धारिणो वराः।

धारिभ्यो ज्ञानिनः श्रेष्ठाः

ज्ञानिभ्यो व्यवसायिनः।।

Ajnebhyah granthinah shreshtaah

Granthibhyo dhaarino varaah

Dhaaribhyo jnaaninah shreshtaah

Jnaanibhyo vyavasaayinah

The people who have read something from books are better than the illiterate

Those who have tried to understand something are obviously better than the mere bookworms

Those who have applied their mind and have acquired enlightenment are at any time better than those who have just read and understood peripherally.

And

The best are those who have

read

understood

imbibed

and are putting to best use through concerted efforts and action the knowledge they have acquired

Yes, the taste of the cake is in eating it.

Reading, writing giving discourses,

having group discussion,

making posts in social media..

all these things would look nice.

But if we cannot practice what we learned then that knowledge is of no use either to us or for others
