Understanding or understanding means intellect, knowledge, wisdom, mutual understanding. Understanding means understanding. To understand means to know, to interpret, to decide right from wrong, to think, to give up insistence. Compromise means advice, explanation, opposition or reconciliation by removing illusions.

Understanding is the light of the brain, the generosity of the heart. Understanding is sentimentality, is generosity. Understanding is the subtraction of bigotry or bigotry. 'My is not true' but the truth is mine - such ideological vastness means understanding.

Understanding is associated with intelligence. Man's intellect does not always work impartially, so it relies on logic, arguments and war of words even in matters that are understandable or acceptable. Wisdom is an infallible medicine to soothe the mind. It is said in the Bhagavad Gita that only his intellect can remain stable. Whose senses are under his control.

Wisdom can be sattvic, it can be majestic and it can be irritating. Irritable intellect makes a man foolish, angry. Infidelity is considered to be a religion that leads to inverted or wrong thinking and as a result the door of understanding is automatically locked. The intellect which does not know Dharma and Adharma and Kartavya-Akartavya is called Rajasi Buddhi. Discernment teaches us to make decisions and act at the right time, in the right way, with the right insight. Man's understanding is his guru. If Kansa had cultivated understanding, would it have been his turn to kill his own nephew Krishna? If Duryodhana had been sensible, would he have thought of making Draupadi naked in a full meeting? When Lord Krishna took the treaty proposal to Duryodhana, Krishna very sensibly told him to give half the kingdom to the Pandavas according to the right and if there is any difficulty in this too, give five villages for the five Pandavas. We are not ready to raise the sword against our relatives. But Duryodhana was deranged. He blew the whistle on reason and tried his best to imprison Krishna, which eventually led to the destruction of the Mahabharata.

Lord Krishna also fought a constant battle against Jarasangha and Shishupal and established his separate city Dwarika to remove the kingdom of unrest among the people.

The Mahabharata is an example of how a wise man can find the best way out of a difficult situation. Both Duryodhana and Arjuna came to ask Lord Krishna for themselves. Showing a just understanding, Lord Krishna said that I will not fight but I will give whatever my Akshauhini army wants. Putting Duryodhana's understanding on the line, he thought only from the point of view of selfishness, why is Krishna alone useless? They are not going to fight. So he decided to ask for an Akshauhini army. When Arjuna thought that Krishna's guidance would be conducive to war. He asked Krishna. Made him his friend, mentor and mentor. As a result the Pandavas became the winners.

Purity of intellect is the same as understanding. If spirit is mixed in the intellect, conscience is added so that it stops thinking wrong. Wisdom motivates man to rely on force, skill, and deception, while understanding paves the way for abandonment of pettiness, inferiority, and arrogance. To surrender oneself to worldly intellect and to forget understanding is to give an open invitation to defeat. A wise man is one who does not speak rudely even in emotion or anger, nor does he agree or disagree without thinking. There is a popular saying in France that an intelligent man thinks before he speaks and speaks foolishly but then thinks. When a wise man utters a word after thinking about the result. The wise man believes in 'Suniye sub ki par kariye man ki' so his decision is not hasty. Understanding the speed of time and doing the right thing is a sign of wisdom. True understanding is not developed, that is why endurance is reduced.

Tolerance means to endure, to endure. Tolerant means a calm, patient, and tolerant man who endures.

Today is the age of worship and obsession with material pleasures. Learning has increased, but counting is sitting at the bottom. Man considers himself the best because of ego. Vices like power, splendor, state territory arise from it. The tendency to conceive creates the illusion that he is a coward. Self-created problems make his mind restless. Nanam manvi is not knowledge but ignorance. Knowledge and intellect defile his mind instead of purifying it, so today's man gives importance in life only to 'Vidya Vivadaya', 'Dhan Madaya' and Shakti Pareshan Parpidanaya. That is why kindness is disappearing. The tendency to adhere to one's own happiness and one's own nature has gained momentum. The mind of man has become so fickle that it has become the abode of the senses. Discernment is the pier of tolerance. When the mind becomes 'su-man', tolerance shines. Indiscretion breeds vengeance, enmity, and revenge, and as a result, the tendency to forget even insults leads man to respond with bricks and stones. Man's arrogance does not allow him to bend, so he is provoked by someone's contrary words, conduct or accusations. When the lamp of conscience is extinguished, his intellect gets stuck in darkness and as a result man becomes intolerant. Loses restraint. Man has become irritable due to lack of self-control. Goethe rightly said that man's behavior is a mirror in which man shows his picture.

The sage Bhrigu kicked Vishnu on the chest but instead of being angry with him, the forgiving and tolerant Vishnu did not hurt his legs and expressed the extreme of tolerance. Tolerance is similar to sandalwood tree. The cutter makes the ax ... but fragrant. The best example of endurance is the earth.

It also does not punish those who dig, crush or damage it. Man suffers the insult of a person taller or bigger than himself out of fear. The promises of Samovadia bear the fear of strife while the virtuous bear the words of men younger than themselves with humility.

Spirituality has declined in today's man and materialism is increasing exponentially. Circulation is increased. Satisfaction is running out as a result man has become frantic. He has no control over his own mind so his tolerance is being burnt. Abandonment is being forgotten and right affection is growing. A man possessed by jealousy and hatred cannot show forgiveness due to anger and as a result he becomes a worshiper of intolerance. Jigar Moradabadi is right -

'' Age passed, centuries passed,

Hai Vahin Abatak, Akalka Bachpan ''

Today's man considers only intellect as a guide and therefore ignores heart-inspired life values. Only pure intellect can help to make the right decision. Only such pure intellect can make a man tolerant.

Acharya Mahaprasaji has described an occasion. Accordingly Socrates' wife was very angry. Socrates came out one day and his wife started arguing with him. Even then Socrates remained silent. Provoked, his wife poured a bucket of water over Socrates' head. Socrates smiled and said: 'Wow what a beautiful sequence! First thunder, then rain! ' His wife laughed when she heard that. Socrates had the backbone of spirituality which is why he was able to show tolerance. Today's man values ​​religiosity but the mind does not give spirituality to the heart, therefore is intolerant.
