Understanding (also called intellection) is a psychological process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to think about it and use concepts to deal adequately with that object. Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge sufficient to support intelligent behavior.
An understanding is the limit of a conceptualization. To understand something is to have conceptualized it to a given measure.
It is difficult to define understanding. If we use the term concept as above, the question then arises as to what is a concept? Is it an abstract thing? Is it a brain pattern or a rule? Whatever definition is proposed, we can still ask how it is that we understand the thing that is featured in the definition: we can never satisfactorily define a concept, still less use it to explain understanding. It may be more convenient to use an operational or behavioural definition, that is, to say that "somebody who reacts appropriately to x understands x". For example, one understands Swahili if one correctly obeys commands given in that language. This approach, however, may not provide an adequate definition. A computer can easily be programmed to react appropriately to commands, but there is a disagreement as to whether or not the computer understands the language (see the Chinese room argument).

Understanding Gold
When I was nowhere
You knew where that was
I never lost my way
And You were the cause
When I was no one
Gonna end it right there
You stood behind me
I never knew You cared
You heard my heart break
Felt the pain of my fall
You were there to save me
And waited for my call
I lived without You
Like You were not there
You never gave up on me
I never knew You cared
Now I hear You
Now I see You
Now I understand
I wanted everything
That wasn?t nailed down
I wanted happiness
But not You around
You see my weakness
And still You?re prepared
To let them nail You down
I never knew You cared
I came to Your arms
From where I was then
Broken, You were crucified
It was for me that You died
You?re my pride
Now I hear You
