Cease all arguments – The Economic Times

At a distance from the market, we hear solely a loud buzzing noise, however upon getting into the market, we hear this now not, and grow to be conscious of the bargains which might be being carried on. Equally, as long as man is much away from God, he’s within the midst of the confusion of sophistry, useless argument and dialogue; however as soon as he approaches the Almighty, all arguments and discussions stop, and he clearly understands the mysteries of God.

As long as the bee has not tasted the honey, it hovers around the lotus buzzing, however when it reaches the flower, it drinks the nectar noiselessly. As long as a person disputes the doctrines and dogmas, he has not tasted the nectar of true religion. As soon as he tastes that, he turns into silent.

One wishing to take pure water from a shallow pond shouldn’t disturb it, however gently take it from the floor. Else, the sediment will rise and make the water muddy. So, in case you need to be pure, don’t waste your energies in scriptural discussions and arguments.

As your relaxation firmly by yourself religion and opinion, permit others too equal liberty to face by theirs. You’ll by no means succeed by mere argument, in convincing one other of his error. When the grace of God descends, each understands his personal errors.
