The knowledge that is not internalized and does not find place in the heart is ma’loomaat, so even if one has a treasure trove of knowledge, it will not benefit, just like all the knowledge in the world did not benefit iblees. The secret ingredient that will help one benefit from knowledge is love for Allah S.W.T., without which knowledge is meaningless, and without which knowledge becomes a burden.
