About this video
We read, most of us, for information and not for understanding. Reading has to take you from a state of lesser understanding to a state of higher understanding. This doesn’t usually happen because we tend to read what we easily and readily understand. You would understand this by the example of reading newspapers, magazines etc which you are able to understand by the skill set you already possess. Such readings don’t increase your understanding, but just supply you with more information, for your understanding was equal to them before you started. Then there is the kind of reading in which one tries to read something which at first he doesn’t completely understand – this is the type which we often ignore and shun. What is meant by this discussion is that there has to be some initial inequality in understanding for some kind of understanding to develop. Your understanding increases only when you are able to overcome this inequality in understanding, or when you approach the understanding of the writer.
