“Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof”
— Walt Whitman
Simplified Meaning:
Wisdom is something deep inside us that we feel and understand, rather than something we can easily show or prove to others. Imagine you have a good friend who always seems to know the right thing to say to make you feel better, even though you can't explain how they know just what you need. This is like wisdom; it’s a kind of deep knowledge that comes from life experiences and being in touch with our feelings and intuition. For example, think about a grandmother who gives advice based on her many years of living through different situations. You can’t always measure or prove that her advice is right with facts or numbers, but you sense that it’s valuable because it comes from a place of understanding and care. To apply this to your life, trust your own inner feelings and experiences more, even if you can’t explain them perfectly to others. This inner knowledge is a powerful guide.
