Pretty much all verses are open to personal interpretation to varying degrees. But given this, we are taught to compare our own interpretations with those of scholars and those who are knowledgeable in Quranic interpretation.
So, understanding what a particular verse means requires - amongst other things - contemplation, sincerity, diligence, and of course, a sufficient amount of study.
