Desiring 'an understanding' usually means just seeking to acquire a way to place it, a kind of words and phrases, it is not essentially a knowing of any type, it is just a way to communicate about it. One is familiar with nothing in pleasure, in despair there is the load of knowing anything. Otherwise, know very little. Nothing else is worth knowing, for all there is no God but me, immune to modify, omnipotent only in sacrifice.
