[The All,5]
The knowing of a thing and understanding serve unique purposes. Knowing a thing is how you relate its existence to the universe around you. Understanding a thing is how you relate its existence to the universe within your self. You can know a pitcher quite readily from past experience. Understanding the pitcher, even as simple as it may seem is built from more complex experiences-though the knowledge does not change. The pitcher could be art, a decoration for the homestead. The pitcher may be used to hold flowers within. The pitcher may be used to pour tea. Knowing the pitcher is an absolute, understanding the pitcher is infinite. Therefore we should not seperate ourselves based on understanding. What one man understands life to be compared to another mans is irrelevant. What matters is that we know life is.
