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 in

possession of someone else
In the event of need it is not a treasure in your control
because the knowledge remained unassimilated.

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 the
maps of other chapters to visualise the
overall picture of the topics in the book.
