pandit ravisankar sitarist said '' i point out to stars. they look at my finger''
the master is at a different level, the audience at some other.
guru sees, says
shishya hears, not listens
unless the levels match,
messages really do not reach.
any language is inadequate
will not with silence equate
gurosthu mouna vyakhyanam
shishyath chinna samshaya
[sankara in dakshina moorthy sthothram ]
