Simplified Meaning:

When someone is deeply in love, they can understand the true essence of goodness and beauty better than someone who just thinks or talks about these things. Imagine two people: one is a scientist who studies flowers, and the other is a gardener who grows flowers because they love them. The gardener, through their love and care for the flowers, experiences their beauty and the joy they bring in a more real and profound way than the scientist who only studies them from a distance. Love allows a person to feel and appreciate the real value of things in a way that pure thinking or studying cannot. This means that experiencing life with your heart can give you a deeper understanding than just using your mind. Applying this idea, if you want to understand something deeply, try to connect with it emotionally and experience it fully rather than just learning about it through books or theories.
