Summary

This quote suggests that knowledge and religion share a common characteristic - they cannot be truly understood or internalized through mere theoretical understanding. Just as one must experience religious faith in order to truly know and comprehend its depth and meaning, knowledge too must be experienced to be truly known. It implies that knowledge requires active engagement, personal exploration, and practical application for a deep understanding to be achieved. It emphasizes the idea that knowledge goes beyond bookish or intellectual learning, highlighting the significance of experiential learning, observation, and direct engagement with the subject matter.
