Dear Tejwant Ji
A great analogy and you are off course absolutely correct.
I am starting to get into Wagner who wrote some pretty convoluted operas! At present I am trying to immerse myself in the music and understand the whole
At some point my appreciation will be greatly enhances when I understand the complexities of leitmotifs and polyphonics which is how experts may analyse aspects of these works
But that's at a different level.
How many people may enjoy a classical piece not even knowing it's Wagner in the first place?
I have no doubt many things are lost in translation. You just have to look to thr Bible for that.
Our scriptures though have not been subject to those level of controversies.
There is no doubt that there are so many depths to really understand and internalise and live through.
But the greater loss is not getting even the basics.
So the transliteration concept lends itself to the highest study.
For now, if we can get an excellent translation that is good for me.
But like I said, that's just me
There are countless others who will get more out of Wagner than I do and so the same with SGGS Ji
