<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->You don't just admit defeat. You admit that you don't have adequete knowledge. That is not a problem. I too don't have adequte knowledge, but I refrain from talking about things I dont' understand.

Of course I don't have adequate knowledge of everything in this Universe!
Only Brahma knows everything in this universe with detail.
My understanding is based on what I have learned from talking to many Vaishnavas and reading books.
Of course my sources may have been incomplete or just plain wrong!
There is no way for me to verify this. Why should I stop talking because I don't know everything?
If you think something I am saying is wrong then prove it and I will change my viewpoint.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Here, we seek knowledge and discussion. You seem to have an agenda.
It was evident when you tried to dissuade a member from joining the ISKCON.

Obviously I have an agenda. Are you denying that you don't have one?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->There are many things that should not be discussed publically.
The treatment of Sankara by Madhwa surely belongs to this category. Therefore I refrain from posting scriptural matters which if read by un-initiated, can cause only turmoil.
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Fine. No problem here. I understand what you are trying to say.
I will accept on good faith you are correct and I am wrong.
