I believe it is from AoY where Yogananda references a teacher who has his students ponder on words for hours at a time. They'd read a little bit and then meditate. Reading everything in one sitting, going to fast, it takes away from meaning, the internalization of truth and the passion/desire for God. Inayat Khan says that simply studying books and having the knowledge isn't enough, that one should feel and take a personal interest in order to Learn and Grow closer with their ideal.
