UNDERSTANDING

Although strictly speaking there are as many different ways of understanding as there are living beings, regarding human understanding in can still sort them by two different categories.
There is an understanding of the mind an one of the heart. If you are solely relying upon the first your are likely to feel yourself being misunderstood by the world and likewise regularly feel puzzled by its movements. As well as at times even regard yourself and your life uncomprehendingly.
Life is a whole, which is constantly reshaping itself and all its movements are inter-connected amongst each other by a seemingly invisible thread. Thus the human mind is crippled by its inherent habit of always thinking in terms of separateness and limitations. Therefore all comprehension the ordinary human mind is capable of is doomed to be short lived and could be called illusionary because in order to be formed by the limiting mind it must be taken out of it's wider context and so becomes amorphous.
Whereas the understanding of the heart is a living comprehension. As he heart is consciously connected to the Unity of Creation it is in a position to sense the inter-connectedness between its manifold parts and apparitions. Even though it might not actually be able to put it into verbal terms it is still aware of it. Thus the understanding of the heart is all-encompassing and wise.
Those individuals in the habit of employing this way of understanding cease to always require verbal explanations of their contemporaries because they have developed the ability to listen with their higher senses to the intention motivating the words or movements around them instead.
The mind on the other hand is fixated upon the literal sense of any communication or action, while simultaneously blocking its correct understanding by clinging on to prejudices, preconceptions and beliefs based upon former experiences. Thus remaining caught within its personal and wholly subjective comprehension of life it often misunderstands, errs in its judgement and feels misunderstood.
