Silence reigns
The story of Dakshinamoorthi and the Sanakadhi rishis is an eyeopener.
The more a concept is discussed or questioned, the more the waves are created in the mind. Instead of quitening the mind which should be the effect of wisdom or knowledge, it is churned up or poops up in pride.
The best time to give water is when a person is thirsty. Best time to give answer is after the question is asked.Knowledge is shared best when people are in need. Otherwise it becomes useless and feels like a display of ego. Everyone is sharing their wisdom here. Is it helpful or is it going waste? Does it open up blocks of your mind? Or is the discussions blocking and cementing your own views and thus enhancing your own self importance.
Social interactive sites like Face book has more Gurus than sadhakas as each is bent on driving in their concept as the best instead of having a reverential approach to Gnan. Some even pompously question your motive when even scriptures and truths they believe in are quoted. Ulterior motives are sought for when there is none.
So the best course is Silence till genuine thirst for Knowledge sprouts in the heart and humility settles in.
Silence reigns!
Om Tat Sat.
