When you are in meditation everything stands under you, you are so above it. That’s the meaning of understanding. Everything is there far below you, so you can see… like a bird’s-eye view. You can see the whole from your altitude. Intellect cannot see it; it is on the same plane. Understanding happens only when the problem is on one plane and you are on a higher plane. If you are also on the same plane, understanding is not possible. You will misunderstand only. And that is one of the greatest problems to be encountered by every seeker.
