-> “Dry arguments are inconclusive. A great personality whose opinion does not differ from others is not considered a great sage. Simply by studying the Vedas, which are variegated, one cannot come to the right path by which religious principles are understood. The solid truth of religious principles is hidden in the heart of an unadulterated, self-realized person. Consequently, as the śāstras confirm, one should accept whatever progressive path the mahājanas advocate.”

 > So _śrutayo vibhinnā nāsāv munir yasya mataṁ na bhinnam._ And if we consult great thinkers or philosophers, they have got their different opinion also. Some philosopher says, "I think this is right," "I think this is right." So whom you will accept? They are also of difference opinion. _Tarko 'pratiṣṭhaḥ śrutayo vibhinnā nāsāv munir yasya mataṁ na bhinnam_ [_Cc. Madhya_ 25.57, _Mahābhārata, Vana-parva_ 313.117].
