2. Theory Without Knowledge is like a one winged bird that is Incapable of flight ~ Sushruta Samhita

3. The statement "Theory without practice is like a one-winged bird that is incapable of flight" is a metaphorical expression that highlights the importance of combining theoretical knowledge with practical application. In this analogy, the "theory" represents knowledge, concepts, and ideas, while the "practice" represents the application of that knowledge in real-world situations. Just as a bird needs both wings to fly, the metaphor suggests that theory alone is insufficient to achieve success or desired outcomes.  Just like memorizing every textbook in student life doesn't guarantee success, you need to immerse yourself in the real challenges of academia and get your hands dirty by actively engaging with the material through practical application and hard work. Merely having theoretical knowledge won't suffice; it's the relentless effort and dedication to learning that will shape your academic journey and lead to true growth and achievement. So, buckle up, embrace the struggles, and put in the necessary work to excel in your student life.
