Understanding between two people requires that both people know themselves internally and have aligned thoughts and feelings. Without this internal clarity and external alignment, a lack of understanding will exist between the two. Trying to understand someone whose "state of being" clashes with your own is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole - it will not provide a reliable connection. True love is logical, but becomes illogical when two people are confused about who they are internally and how they perceive each other. Clearing the mind's clouds and gaining internal understanding of oneself is necessary for best understanding another person and merging together harmoniously.
