I feel is the quest is to know truth, there can be an unbiased study.

In Indian tradition and in any civilised interaction, when a person is
unable to answer the opponent's objection, he is duty bound to accept what
the other person proved. Becoming answerless and yet to carry on with one's
view is a matter of ridicule.

The point is, if you want truth, then being defeated is a matter of joy. At
least, now you have got to know truth.

Around six years back, ignorant of the unimaginable depth of VivaraNa
AchAryAs, and having restricted myself to only bhAshya, I too had some
wrong ideas. When confronted by a VivaraNa scholar, Shri Rahul ji and some
on this forum like yourself and Venkatraghavan ji, I immediately understood
that I am wrong.

But then that is a matter of joy. At least you won't be wrong any further.
And when one comes across the teachings of our AchAryAs, it is impossible
to not be immediately convinced by that. It requires an absolutely
stubborn, fanatic and biased mind to not surrender before VivaraNa.
