176. Know that -- No good accrues from the religious dis
course (of a preacher who is ignorant of the decorum of a religious discourse).
ANNOTATION 176, A widely read preacher can expatiate upon topics, both on philosophy and asceticism. On the other hand, a poorly read one cannot do so. All the same he can talk about renunciation, he should never enter into polemics. For, he may make a beginning, but he would not be able to round it off. That is why his discourse on philosophy would not be of any benefit.
