Well, in Zen there is the imperative to personally realize enlightenment, not just understand the idea or concept. Verifying for yourself if the water in the glass is cold or hot by drinking it yourself.

Otherwise it is like looking at a picture of a glass of water, it does you no good if you are thirsty.
