Sanskrit Grammar



Thinking about Sanskrit grammar, and about the beauty and musicality of the desiderative verb forms.  And the wonderful line from the Maitrāyaṇīya Upaniṣad, profound and direct, like something from Novalis: 

If people thought of God as much as they think of the world,
who would not attain liberation?
