Introduction:
When you study Sanskrit, you’re working on both academic and mystical themes at the same time. Sanskrit is a meeting place for high grammar, which involves academic gymnastics, and it is also a gateway to the realm of mysticism, according to some intellectuals.
Learning Sanskrit demonstrates to the individual that the intellectual and spiritual worlds are not so far apart and that they can balance each other. Understanding Sanskrit grammar helps a verse or mantra reader to understand what I call the first level of meaning, or what the words are actually saying and in what order. This is a crucial step in Sanskrit and Yogic development because it enables the student to directly access a yogic text without the need for someone else to teach them.
It’s also important to note that, while the first level is crucial to Sanskrit wisdom, it’s not the last. The first level is the literal meaning of the words, while the last level is magical. In modern times, mysticism is described as the pursuit of union with the Absolute, infinite, or God, according to Wikipedia. It is beneficial to be taught by an adept who understands both Sanskrit culture and language in order to advance in the mystical application of both.
