"زندهترین اندیشه هنوز از کسلکنندهترین حس پستتر است"

Simplified Meaning:
Thinking deeply about something is less impactful than even the most simple experience. For example, you can imagine what an apple tastes like, but actually biting into one and tasting it is completely different and much more powerful. Even a small experience, like feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, can leave a bigger impression on you than just thinking about a sunny day. Our physical experiences often teach us more and stick with us longer than our thoughts. So, to fully understand and enjoy life, it’s important to go out and actually do things, not just think about them. In other words, living and experiencing life hands-on leads to deeper understanding and fulfillment than just thinking about those experiences.
