Understanding....

 Sometimes the less said, the better. 
So I will let this scripture speak on its own
Simply see what it says about getting understanding:

My son, if you receive my words
  and treasure up my commandments with you,
 making your ear attentive to wisdom
  and inclining your heart to understanding;
 yes, if you call out for insight
  and raise your voice for understanding,
 if you seek it like silver
  and search for it as for hidden treasures,
 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
  and find the knowledge of God.
 For the LORD gives wisdom;
  from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
  he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
 guarding the paths of justice
  and watching over the way of his saints.
 Then you will understand righteousness and justice
  and equity, every good path;
 for wisdom will come into your heart,
  and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
 discretion will watch over you,
  understanding will guard you,
(Proverbs 2:1-11 ESV)
