It means that people like Bernard Shaw were very "learned" i.e. knowledgeable and educated, but they were not ostentatious or boastful about it. They were more modest and humble so that less learned people would still feel comfortable with them.
The expression "hold it (or something) lightly" is quite common. It means to have a tentative opinion which you are willing to discuss and allow to be challenged.

Be careful to read, copy and learn correctly. The phrase says 'lightly', not 'lighting' - ''do something lighting' is nonsense.
