The Difference Between Knowledge And Understanding

Knowledge signifies scholars whereas experiences and understanding signify wisdom and awareness. I remember a beautiful short story that I read. Once a scholarly person with higher education was waiting for a bus on the bus stand. A fruit seller came across and he bought a banana. A lady dressed in a village attire also bought the banana. After eating he took pride in throwing the banana leaf in the dustbin and waited for the lady from the village to take some action. He was sure that she would throw it on the road and not the dustbin. The lady gave the banana leaf to a cow. This was an eye-opener for the scholarly person and he went in search of wisdom. I have taken a strong note of this story since the day I read and it has helped me in always learning from others.
