It may sound unintuitive to the common man to think that knowledge is a burden but it is true. When you are stuck in the sea of knowledge there is no way to live in the moment because you are constantly pulled into the past or what you think could happen in the future. The only truly way to understand life is to observe without judgement and selfishness. Then one will have a chance to be centered and not be pulled/pushed by others influences. When oneself frees their mind of the material world you will see an entire new world unravel before you. that Krishnamurti quote and your discussion was just what I needed.
