This thing is the most difficult for a person to understand. Keep trying. Don't get discouraged. It will seem obvious. But it is extremely difficult to know about it. For it involves time.

Your problem is, you're trying to understand it. You need to just do it.

Be patient with the belligerence of the simple-minded. It is not easy to understand that one doesn’t understand

What makes a subject difficult to understand — if it is significant, important — is not that some special instruction about abstruse things is necessary to understand it. Rather it is the contrast between the understanding of the subject and what most people want to see. Because of this the very things that are most obvious can become the most difficult to understand. What has to be overcome is not difficulty of the intellect but of the will. [Nicht eine Schwierigkeit des Verstandes, sondern des Willens ist zu überwinden.]

We must try harder to understand than to explain.

I would like to understand things better, but I don’t want to understand them perfectly.

Don't try to comprehend with your mind. Your minds are very limited. Use your intuition.

Understanding is a delaying tactic.

But I still couldn't figure out what it all meant. The more I found out, the less I understood.

when faced with a problem you do not understand, do any part of it you do understand, then look at it again.

It is not good to settle into a set of opinions. It is a mistake to put forth effort and obtain some understanding and then stop at that. At first putting forth great effort to be sure that you have grasped the basics, then practicing so that they may come to fruition is something that will never stop for your whole lifetime. Do not rely on following the degree of understanding that you have discovered, but simply think, "This is not enough." One should search throughout his whole life how best to follow the Way. And he should study, setting his mind to work without putting things off. Within this is the Way.

Understanding is like water flowing in a stream. Wisdom and knowledge are solid and can block our understanding

You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way.

Don’t try to understand! It’s enough if you do not misunderstand.
