Summary

This quote suggests that true understanding comes from personal experience and active participation rather than passive observation. Merely hearing or listening to something may not necessarily make a lasting impact or lead to comprehension. However, seeing something with one's own eyes can help in forming memories and retaining information. Ultimately, it is through personal engagement, through doing or putting what is learned into practice, that a deeper level of understanding is gained.
