You have to cook that food and eat it. Knowing the name of a medicine that cures your illness will not cure the illness. You have to take the medicine. You say, no, I know the medicine, but the pain is still there. the illness is still there because you are not eating the medicine. You only know the name. So, similarly, just kno...
