When we DEFINITELY KNOW about something, thats UNDERSTANDING

When we unable to completely understand something, our mind make sense of that info., thats PERCEPTION.

Perception isthe act of perceiving which may be divided into sensory perception, and psychological perception- sensory perception comprises of looking at a situation and grasping its various facets with the help of sense organs- the perception via eyes, ears, nose, tongue and skin. Psychological perception is the use of our mind and CNS to get a comprehensive outlook of the matter. Understanding is a part of this and can be defined as the process of alligning matters to get a correct insight.

  Action without perception would be an utter folly, action with only perception would be like sending your pet dog with a shopping bag to the shop, but without the shopping list...

Hence in any situation, one has to initially perceive, then understand- and then act
