Some people are seekers, but they do not really want to be finders. They sail around in their boat looking for a great place to swim but they never dive in. This is ok, everyone must find their own life-path and proceed at their own pace. This is a very personal undertaking. Still, it is very helpful to understand that knowing something intellectually and knowing something by having assimilated it into our being are very different.
You may study and memorize the maps to reach the peak of a mountain. You may know every possible pathway to the top. But unless you have walked a path to the summit you still are not a mountain climber.
