What does it mean to know something? Most living organism know things by intuition. For example, animals can sense when an earthquake is coming. Baby birds that fell on the ground learned how to fly and how to survive in the wild.
The Tao Teh Ching says,
Learning consists in daily accuulating;
The practice of Tao consists in daily diminishing.
We human beings are the only ones who learns things by the book, and we accumulate a lot of second-hand knowledge that we only know by our intellect instead of our intuition.
Not saying that book knowledge is worthless. But we have to be careful to not let it replace our intuition.
