Old Sanskrit saying

Pustakastha tu ya vidya parahastagatam dhanam

Karyakale samutpanne na sa vidya na taddhanam.

Meaning in English

Knowledge that exists in a book is like treasure inpossession of someone else

In the event of need it is not a treasure in your control

because the knowledge remained unassimilated.

So the key is, how to learn?How to assimilate knowledge?

or even

How to create new personal knowledge –

a treasure in your possession?

This guide will provide a generic direction.

Consider the Sanskrit saying you just read.

lossless compression covered or requiredin other chapters.

• The method of visualisation we just

described is called ‘mindmapping’• It is great way to remember complex

concepts and visualise their relationships.

• Since, so many different topics have been

covered in the book, you may draw themaps of other chapters to visualise the

overall picture of the topics in the book.

Mindmaps can be drawn using a freemindmapping software - FreeMind

available at:http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
