Jiddu Krishnamurti’s view on Understanding
The art of learning is to instantly perceive what is said
“The art of learning is to instantly perceive what is said, whether it is true or false and to see in the false the truth. This means to have a very quick mind and a sensitive brain. If it is loaded with information of what other people - philosophers, teachers, searched books and your gurus - have said, then that brain is clogged.”

Jiddu Krishnamurti’s view on Understanding
Understanding is danger
“Understanding is now or never; it is a destructive flash, not a tame affair; it is this shattering that one is afraid of and so one avoids it, knowingly or unknowingly. Understanding may alter the course of one’s life, the way of thought and action; it may be pleasant or not but understanding is a danger to all relationships. But without understanding, sorrow will continue.”
