Summary

This quote suggests that our understanding of concepts and forms is limited because we overlook the individual and tangible aspects of nature. Nature, on the other hand, does not conform to specific forms or concepts like humans do. Instead, it is familiar with an indescribable and inaccessible essence (referred to as "X") that remains beyond our comprehension. In essence, nature's true nature or essence cannot be fully grasped by human understanding.
