There is a great difference between understanding and knowing.

There is a great difference between understanding and knowing.



1. Understanding is only intellectual (good programme of the brain/mind) while knowing is experiential (bodily-but only registered by the brain).

2. Understanding is mental phenomenon which depends upon the data and good programming(software), while knowing is non-mental and has nothing to do with software other than the operating system needed just to register the experiential happenings.

3. When two knowers meet there is nothing to interact, but when two intellectuals (who have understood) meet they cannot remain without interaction.


4. The intellectual may be the best teacher possible, but may not be a knower.

     Similarly the knower may not be even a good teacher.

5. The same person who can be intellectual as well as knower (flowered intelligence) is a rare phenomenon.

6. The results expected may not be seen/visible in case of the intellectual, but perhaps it (result) is guaranteed in case of the knowner.

7. Knowing automatically puts you in the state of acceptance which is natural, but if you think that understanding has put you in the state of acceptance then understand that this is just appearing /superficial / practiced.
