Khenpo Kathar Rinpoche
If you do not immediately put into practice your understanding of Dharma, you will become a jaded scholar. When you come to an understanding of something or receive some practical instructions, if you do not make use of it immediately, the desire to make use of it becomes less and less over time. You become more and more jaded and start to think less and less of the value of Dharma and the instructions you have received. You keep on receiving more and more instructions and acquiring more and more knowledge or information, but it remains just as information, and you have less and less desire to practice. On the other hand, if you immediately put into practice instructions you receive, your desire to practice them increases. The more practice you do, the more your respect for the instructions and your understanding of their true value will increase.
