== In Human Understanding == '''Knowledge of Existence''' means that one knows about a certain reality that exists, but has no recognition of its essence. That is, when recognition comes through personal perception (for example through '''hearing'''), it's possible that a greater scholar might come and contradict their understanding. '''Comprehension of Essence''' is when one recognizes the essence of the thing. One of the ways in which this matter is very prominent is - in seeing. Meaning, when recognition comes through sight (seeing the matter for oneself), it is impossible to convince them otherwise with any explanation. They don't arrive at this through a subjective perception of the matter, but simply see the thing itself. From our perspective, since we live in a physical world, the only things we can grasp in their essence are physical things that exist in our world. Spiritual things - we can only grasp their existence, the fact that they exist.
