Joy From Understanding

 Joy from understanding means, joy flooding your heart, from having understanding come to you, or an understanding awareness come to you, about those you love, e.g your spouse, family, friends, etc.

Ever loved someone so much, yet it seemed they were the first to piss you off, they were the first to get you off the edge, they were the first person whose offenses, or things you thought were offenses you remembered the most?

Yeah, right? 

Well, here's one important thing that happens when your love for them begins to mature. You understand them. Its like your love for them has entered into their world of experience, you see into what influences their decisions. The wisdom they're functioning by, and somehow you agree with them. The unity of soul, mind, heart and will begins to happen. Your agreeing with them is from an insight knowledge, an understanding not an emotional stirring or attachment. 

This is a beautiful thing you know, to understand the one you love. The fighting, bickering, misunderstanding, etc begins to die down, and trust starts coming forth, real trust that comes from deeply knowing a person. 

You know they are this way and that, and you can rely and trust them. This knowledge and understanding didn't come from the senses, an external sensory observation of their behavior, but an internal observation which happens by the magic of true love.
