but even scriptures were written in poetry style. So poetry got more acceptability than prose. Sufi poetry was / is more popular in those areas which are otherwise labelled as ‘illiterate’. It is an achievement for Sufis to convey their message and make it part of fabric of such society through poetry.

But I don’t think poetry simplified it. Mahabharat has 1,00,000 shlokas, Ramayan has 24000. But the most I understood it, when I read it in prose. I believe prose it much better way of teaching and learning, how about parents teaching their children in poetry rather than prose?

But I think concern of this thread is different though.
