Who to believe? The author or the Interpreter?
From Leadership in Matters that matter by Alok Asthana

About this episode
The episode discusses the discrepancies between an author's intentions and the interpretations presented by others.
In several cases, one finds that the author says one thing, while others, interpreters and gurus, want you to believe something else. The argument is that we don't know what the author meant. That's always done to shield something shady.
