Lenin has said: "Practice is higher than theoretical knowledge, for it has not only the dignity of universality, but also of immediate actuality."
I would be more than happy if someone explain it - especially the term "universality" and "immediate actuality" - in a simple language and with examples.

"Immediate actuality" is pretty straight-forward; Lenin clearly means that in practice we interface with and react to the world directly, as opposed to merely thinking about it in theory.
The "universality" part is not at all clear. Has it been translated correctly?
Perhaps he means that anyone can engage in practice, but not everyone can theorise?
That's my best guess.
