The cognizing I am speaking of is the same thing as the cognition we have when we see or hear things. In this case we have direct experience because of what we feel as we experience the mantras, the subtle physiological effects we experience. This is different from intuition which is more of a "sense" about things and can play a part as a "guide" to determining effects.
