Sanskrit
"The truth has been disclosed through all the languages, at least it has been tried to be disclosed and proclaimed through all the languages, but the truth was originally declared through the Sanskrit language and it still holds the truth in its original form with all the laws and the relationships between the individual and the universal, the manifest and the unmanifest. They are still very fresh and in their proper form. Through all other languages the same thing is supposed to be expressed, but the medium has all been changed.
The essence of all this is that one should get closer to the realm of understanding. This is possible only through study of language. I do not mean Sanskrit. I mean The Language. Of course Sanskrit alone is capable to lead one to that Language. One should study it systematically. If one would try to water the leaves the tree will not get nourishment. One should water the root. So one first should understand properly the beautiful structure of the Sanskrit language and it will help the mind to come closer to understanding. When the light appears the darkness disappears. Similarly when the study of Sanskrit will be achieved, all knowledge of worldly use and also of spiritual use will be purified and one's life will be simple and good..."
Shri Shantananda Saraswati
