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.

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.”
