I think what the above means is that if you try and seek knowledge and continue to be disobedient while in the pursuit on knowledge then it will not benefit you. As Imam Ash Shafi' had the experience that one day he was unable to memorise and he complained to his teacher that he could not memorise and the teacher asked if he had done anything bad that day and he said that he had looked at a woman in the street. So the teacher said that this was his reason for not being able to memorise and that he should repent from that act. [Note that I don't think Imam Shafi' looked at the lady deliberately, but that she happened to be there when he was on his way to class and he just happened to look at her once and that was it] Allah knows best Jashim I think it is correct to say that knowledge can change a person.

There is a saying, i do not remember who said it but its something like "We learnt knowledge for other reasons, but in the end, knowledge did not accept any other reason accept to draw close to Allah" or something like that. Anyway, thanks for taking notes... Salaam
