Simplified Meaning:

People can only truly understand things they've personally experienced. For instance, someone who has never seen or touched snow can’t fully grasp what it's like, no matter how much they read or hear about it. Imagine trying to explain the taste of a mango to someone who has never even heard of the fruit; until they taste it themselves, their understanding can only go so far. This idea means that to gain real knowledge and wisdom, one must live through various situations. For example, if someone reads about swimming in a book, they still need to practice in a pool to fully know how to swim. It also suggests that learning from your own experiences is powerful and unmatched compared to just learning from others' stories or theories. To apply this idea in life, one should be open to new experiences and willing to try things firsthand to truly understand and learn deeply, beyond just theoretical knowledge.
