Reading sutras

It seems to me that when reading sutras, it is not to read as a third person. One should read as the person involved, as the person asking the questions. When the Buddha answers, He answers to you and you understand. Be there, where He is turning the Dhamma wheel. To read as a third person, one would be totally out of the whole story and it is difficult for one to understand to the fullest extent what is expressed. Be within the sutra when reading it. Not without.
