"يمكن للرجل أن يتخيل أشياء غير حقيقية، لكنه لا يستطيع إلا أن يفهم الأشياء الحقيقية"

Simplified Meaning:
It's easy for people to come up with ideas or thoughts that aren't real or true. For example, someone might imagine they've won the lottery even if they haven't. However, understanding something means knowing it's true and real. Think of learning how to ride a bike. You might imagine you can ride it perfectly without ever practicing, but you only truly understand how to ride when you actually do it and experience it yourself. This idea shows that real knowledge and understanding come from actual experiences, not just thoughts or dreams. So, to really know something, we need to be sure it’s based on reality, not just our imagination.
