Self and Truth

interpretations,

And then I write:
OK. Maybe I'm missing the point here, but I figure that the only way we're going to get anything straight is if we learn Tamil and Sanskrit. Easy enough. And then we'll quiz RKShankar on his knowledge of the the English language -- in Tamil. From the results of that test we ought to really know if he's developed a thorough understanding of the English language in order to translate Tamil, which of course to us, will be apparent.
I have heard that some people who experience Kundalini awakening are able to read and understand Sanskrit without ever having contact with it previously....
(Geez!)
