Learning is like a design in water,
contemplation like a design on the side of a wall,
meditation like a design in stone.

Namaste'.
Godrakpa is saying that there are levels of knowledge. Simply learning can be forgotten, but as you move through contemplation to meditation, you internalize the learning.
You might put some details on who was Godrakpa, in your "additional details." This would enhance this thread.

No.
What is a stone tossed in a pond? That's when you realize everything you thought was true is not.
Gaining knowledge is filling the pond.

yes learning can be viewed as having a ripple effect.

A ripple fades, my knowledge does not. although if you mean it like 'spreading to other people' maybe.

Only when you share your knowledge with others and let the ripples go on and on and on..........
