Understanding

Artist Unknown


Understanding is not a product of one function in man, but the resultant of several functions working in harmony.
For example, if one appreciates something with the mind, one 'knows' it; if one appreciates it with the emotions, one 'feels' it; if one appreciates it with the external physical organs, one 'senses' it.
But if one simultaneously appreciates it with the mind, emotions, and physical senses then one really understands it. This is very rare as we are.
It can be developed. But in order to do so, something like 'self-remembering' is necessary - that is, one has to remember all one's functions and their relations to the thing in question."
