Ancient debates, like those of Adi Shankaracharya and Socrates, were sincere explorations of truth where participants were willing to accept better arguments. In contrast, modern TV debates mostly aim at ego, domination, and self-preservation, not truth. Acharya Ji says a true debate requires humility and readiness to change one’s position when truth appears. He further explains that the search for truth arises because humans suffer due to falseness and illusions in life. The world promises happiness but fails to deliver, creating temporary hope and eventual suffering. Truth, therefore, is not something to acquire but a continuous rejection of falseness and illusion. ➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🎧 Listen to #AcharyaPrashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3f0KFwe...
