Simplified Meaning:

You can show someone the facts or the reality of a situation, but that doesn’t mean they will get it or accept it. Imagine a teacher explaining a math problem in detail to a student. The teacher can show all the steps clearly, but the student may still not grasp how to solve the problem if they aren't ready to learn or don't want to listen. In history, Galileo tried to show people that Earth revolves around the Sun. He had proof, but many people didn't believe him because it went against what they thought they knew. Accepting new ideas requires an open mind and willingness to understand. If you want someone to understand something important, you have to be patient. You can give them all the information, but remember that their understanding depends on their willingness and ability to see things differently. It’s like planting a seed – you can plant it and water it, but it will grow when the conditions are right.
