[QUOTE=Maripat;771652]Actually because of the clear instruction to acquire knowledge from cradle to grave as well as the supplication Rabbi zidni 'ilma, O Rab increase my knowledge, we can not discourage learning in any form. But we have this clear cut injunction that the knowledge that we have not acted upon will be held against us on the Day of Judgment. In view of these facts converging from opposite directions it becomes a case of striking the balance. It is a fact well acknowledged that the Straight Path is worldly manifestation of the Path Bridge - you can not afford to lean to either direction, you got to keep the balance.

Are you talking about deeni knowledge or the knowledge we acquire in school and other places not petaining to Deen? E.g. throughout ones secular education one is taught many subjects that are never used ever. Also what about duas that was memorized a long time ago and is slowly forgotten, not intentionally, but with time one memorized new duas and slowly forgot the old ones?
