And our way of knowing, storing and analyzing everything (to death) with our mind, basing everything on what we think we already know i.e. memory, that is exactly the disease that obscures our true nature.
The not knowing talked about is not about worldly knowledge but spiritual 'knowledge', traditions and theories. The sage discards it all and is happy not to know anything.
