Story of the Farmer and the Pundit
~~OM~~
There is the story of the farmer who heard the pundit discoursing on Gita in Sanskrit. The farmer was sitting in the back of the temple crying and crying, and the pundit went on and on and on, as pundits do. And at the end of his discourse, the hall was emptied, everyone went home, and the farmer was still sitting there crying and crying and crying.
And the pundit went up to the farmer and said, “Hey farmer, you’re obviously not a Sanskrit scholar, you probably didn’t understand a word that I said, how come you are crying?” And the farmer replied, “Your absolutely right Punditji. I didn’t understand one word that you said, but as you were speaking I saw Krishna standing on the chariot delivering the same discourse to Arjuna, and I couldn’t hold back my tears because the sight was so beautiful.”
