“Knowledge by itself does not give understanding. Nor is understanding increased by an increase of knowledge alone. UNDERSTANDING depends upon the relation of knowledge to being. UNDERSTANDING is the resultant of knowledge and being. And knowledge and being must not diverge too far, otherwise understanding will prove to be far removed from either. At the same time the relation of knowledge to being does not change with a mere growth of knowledge. It changes only when being grows simultaneously with knowledge. In other words, understanding grows only with the growth of being. Fragments: Four

“The difference between knowledge and understanding becomes clear when we realize that knowledge may be the function of one center. UNDERSTANDING, however, is the function of three centers. Thus the thinking apparatus may know something. But understanding appears only when a man feels and senses what is connected with it. Fragments: Four
