Vedanta : Three sutras

There are three sutra(link) of Vedanta. (Shravan, manan and nidhihasan) Attain or gain knowledge just in one instance i.e. shravan, practice again and again about it and to learn many times to get that knowledge is manan. Some people can understand by just listening to knowledge. Some people have to practice again and again to get the knowledge like to break stone into pieces you have to go on hitting it i.e called manan. Nidhihasan takes years to gain knowledge, you dont get it very fast, you have to work very hard.

King parikshat attained knowledge by just listening, Sukhdevji Maharaj knew that Parikshat has gained knowledge very fast. Those who listen with their intellect take time to understand but who take it to their heart, gain knowledge very fast. Your intellect will always find logic and reasoning in everything, it will become a barrier in gaining knowledge easily but if you understand with your heart, it will become very easy. Your intellect is like a scissor trying to cut and reason out the knowledge you are trying to gain. There is a style of listening any gyan. If you blink, or look here and there, you will not be able to grasp, there will be conflict in your thinking. Sometimes with one incident you attain knowledge.
