Knowing & Feeling

Is there a gap between 'knowing' and 'feeling'? As counter-intuitive as it sounds, such gap might not be actually real. These two functions of your body coexist but they also seem to be clearly separated. 'Knowing' is of the mind, "feeling' is of the heart. Knowing means to have a clear knowledge that something is the way it is (or has been). You know that it is daytime  when the sun shines because you see and perceive such physical fact. You know that Julius Caesar was a Roman leader because you studied it in history books. But may also believe you 'know' that a spiritual wold exists because you 'feel' it. So, knowing can be connected with feeling. These two seemingly different facets of your 'being' are not so different, after all. It depends on what you are taking into consideration. In the physical world, to know means to experience it with your physical senses, in the spiritual world it means to experience it in the deepest part of your "self".
