**Dimadrusti** makes the seeker free from all attachments. (45) It removes all kinds of disputes. It cannot tolerate any kind of debate or discussion, and it sighs deeply with anger due to insult! Even in pleasant things, it experiences **arati-jwar** – it does not like pleasant things, and its words towards friends are as harsh as stones! And it arises from **ahankara** (ego), this all-pervading principle is the principle of all systems, it seems to be mounted on it and truly examines itself! That is, it directly experiences the suffering caused by ego!” Thus, dry logic leads to a terrible outcome. Moreover, dry logic leads to **mithyabhiman** (false pride). A dry logician considers his father to be very intelligent! He is very proud of his father's intelligence and reasoning ability. He keeps boasting about how he cleverly tricked and defeated someone!
Thus, dry logic, which leads to a terrible outcome, leads to **mithyabhiman**, and therefore, it is completely to be abandoned by seekers of liberation. Because the true seekers have only one goal, to get rid of the bondage of birth and death at any cost. They have only one purpose, they are not interested in honor, worship, achievement, respect, etc., and as seen above, dry logic does not lead to any kind of self-interest, on the contrary, it causes great harm due to ego. Where is the solitude of a true seeker of liberation, and where is the solitude of a dry logician? “The good is on one side, and the debaters or the bull-like debaters are thinking on the other side! The sage has never said that debate is a good remedy.” Thus, there is a vast distance between debate and liberation, so why should a seeker of liberation engage in debate? Why should he embrace dry logic?
*"If he wins, he becomes arrogant, breaking the bounds of courtesy. He makes even the three worlds into wicked people by his boasting about his own virtues. Or if he loses, he becomes angry and quarrelsome. He attacks with a roar, making fun of the opponent. He cannot tolerate debaters, he sighs deeply with anger due to insult. Even in pleasant things, he experiences **arati-jwar**, and even towards friends, his words are like stones." This is the principle of all systems, that suffering arises from ego. And he, mounted on it, truly examines himself."*
