On Understanding

 

Peter Oespensky - Image Credit to Whoever Credit is Due

"Understanding always comes that way—

you understand, and then 

you cease to understand. 

But if all attempts to understand 

something go wrong, 

try not to think about it 

but try to remember yourself, 

that is, to be emotional, 

and in time you will understand. 

Understanding does not become 

permanent at once; as in everything else 

there are many steps and you can 

understand something one day and 

not understand it the next day, 

for you may be more conscious 

in the same circumstances one day 

and more asleep the next. 

So many days may pass 

before it becomes your own."

Ospensky - The Fourth Way
