We can reach an understanding of something when we understand two opposites in combination.
We need to simultaneously perform an analysis, separation, synthesis and combination. Only when we undergo such a process can we attain an understanding of a certain phenomenon.
Otherwise, we have no feeling of that which we wish to comprehend. The fact is that we wish to feel something we do not have. It is not in us, and we have a negative attitude toward it. When we receive it, we then feel it within us.
There is our self with its desire, and something that fills this desire. Then, two opposites know the meaning of one without the other, and one with the other. This is what understanding consists of. It is why we always give children a variety of exercises and present them with various difficulties so that they accumulate, construct and develop.
