The Inability To Understand

Knowing ‘about’ a subject doesn’t mean we understand it. We just have an attitude towards it, such as like, dislike or dismiss. We can only understand something when we engage with it wholeheartedly. Like a spiritual surgeon, it’s not a matter of liking or disliking, but of dealing with whatever arises with a positive attitude. In this way, we can have empathy for those who have a problem with the topic.

Following a spiritual path isn’t without its problems and hypocrisies, but we engage because we actually want to know the absolute truth and whatever inhibits this. It’s not a matter of like or dislike.

An inability to understand arises because we have come to a conclusion too soon.
In absolute terms, there is no conclusion.
