v. 841Dependent upon views, enquiring, (Magandiya, said the Blessed One,)
you have become infatuated in respect of what has been grasped,
and hence you have not even the slightest notion [of what I am talking about].
Therefore you regard [it] as foolish.

Whoever thinks himself equal, superior, or inferior, he would dispute on that account.
[But] one unshaken in the three modes [of self-conceit] – for him there is no "equal"
[or] "superior".

Why would that brahman say, "It is true"? Or with whom would he dispute [saying],
"It is false"?
In whom there is no [idea of being[ equal or unequal either, with whom would he join
in dispute?

v. 844
Leaving his home, wandering homeless, not making acquaintances in a village,
free from sensual pleasures, showing no preferences,
a sage would not engage in disputatious speech with the people.

He should not fall under the influence of anger or arrogance.
Having dug out their root too he should stand [firm]. Then being
predominant he should endure the pleasant and unpleasant.
