Knowledge of greammar is, no doubt, necessary :

It is a means to an end.

To understand rightly the Sastram - declarations. and even to appreciate fully the advice of the teacher, grammar is useful. But to waste our precious lifetime in the pursuit of all these nonessentials, and never taking up seriously the study of the greatest sciences, which alone can save mankind from the thraldom of imperfections, is being condemned by Sri Adi Swami Sankaracharya.

For, when death comes to erase you out of existence in this manifested world, of what use is your science to you?

Of what charm is the art that you have mastered?

Of what help is the knowledge of grammar then?

While living here, human greatest endeavour is to understand and master the secret of life, the Reality behind it, and to gain person's perfect identification with it.

People must be able to meet death not as a moment of utter annihilation, but as a springboard to rocket themselves into External Existence, peaceful and divine.
