Epic Lectures

Once, my prof told me that epics like the Ramayan and the Mahabharat are special because inspite of knowing the entire story, we watch them again and again. Each time we watch them, we discover a new meaning in the same story. And yet, there is always something that we will never understand. He feels that only the wisest can understand the true meaning behind the epics. Ironically, I get the same feelings when I watch his lecture videos.
