Simplified Meaning:

It's one thing to know what something is called, but it's another thing to truly understand it. For example, you might know the name of a flower, like "rose," but that doesn't mean you know how to grow it, take care of it, or appreciate its different types. It's like saying you know the name of a dish, but not knowing the ingredients or how to cook it. True understanding involves deeper knowledge and experience, not just being able to label something. If you want to really understand something, you need to spend time studying it, experimenting with it, and learning all you can about it, not just memorize its name. This lesson teaches us the importance of going beyond surface-level knowledge and really immersing ourselves in learning and experiencing to gain true wisdom.
