Understanding Is Not Required

In my experience, during discussions of spiritual principles or ideas, people frequently talk in terms of understanding or trying to explain the ideas.  I must confess that I have spent much of my life trying to understand or explain these principles and then a greater sense of freedom came along, when I shut down that part of my brain.  Things like the feeling of being connected or experiencing some sort of Divine intervention can be partially described but our words can only point to them, not explain them.  Spiritual experiences can certainly be known, but not understood, which is wonderful.  In my view, trying to explain them is like trying to explain the glory of sunlight or a rainbow.
