Summary

This quote implies that the desire to learn ultimately rests within the mind of the student. Regardless of the claims made by educational systems or teachers, the student will only absorb and accept the knowledge that genuinely stimulates their curiosity and interest. It suggests that true education requires an intrinsic motivation and a genuine thirst for knowledge on the part of the learner. Simply providing information is not enough; the student's receptiveness depends on their own inclination and eagerness to absorb the material being taught.
