How to conduct a scriptural debate?

Enter every debate with meditative listening and openness, using scripture as a mirror for awareness rather than a weapon for victory. Prioritize understanding over being right, and let silence between words deepen the dialogue.

— Osho
According to Osho, a scriptural debate should not collapse into yes-or-no positions. Binary arguing misses understanding. Enter with meditative listening, openness to paradox, and willingness to drop fixed conclusions. Use scripture as a mirror for awareness, not a weapon for victory. Speak from lived insight, invite silence between words, and prioritize understanding over being right.

Don’t argue to win with yes-or-no answers; listen calmly, allow paradox, and seek understanding, not victory.
