Quote by Sheldon Kopp

The guru, if he is gifted, reads the story as any bilingual person might. He does not translate-he understands.

The guru, if he is gifted, reads the story as any bilingual

Summary

This quote suggests that a talented guru has a deep understanding of different perspectives and can interpret them without simply translating word for word. Similar to a bilingual person who inherently comprehends both languages, the guru comprehends the underlying meaning and essence of a story. Instead of merely converting one language to another, the guru grasps the essence of the narrative and interprets it with an intuitive understanding, allowing for a deeper connection and communication with others.
