Question

What is the meaning of the proverb "books without the knowledge of life are useless"?

Answer 1

This proverb means that no matter how much you know in theory about cooking a simple dish ,unless you can practically go in the kitchen and cook it ,the bookish knowledge is in vain. This is because you may face a lot of untold challenges while you practically try to do something which can be dealt only with your instincts which no book has a guide to.

So unless you have practically tried a thing,it's no use having information about it in black and white.

Answer 2

if you haven't tried a something it's no use having information on it
