This is how the so called sutras are written: a page of text gets compressed into one short sentence, so you have to stop after each of them and spend an hour unpacking its meaning, but the entire book is often just 200 sentences.

Sutras like Panini's Grammer written 5th century BC are great product of formal knowledge from India. However, writing emails is not the same thing:

- Sutras solved the problem to retaining large chunks of knowledge.

- Sutras had formal rules to keep the meaning unambiguous.

- Sutras were written by the sages who had lot of knowledge and control over language.

-Sutras were written in Sanskrit. A highly malleable (due to SANDHI and SAMAS) yet a precise language.

- English is not the right language to write tersely.
