The author, Hemadpant, directly connects his personal failing of being prone to debate with the essential need for faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi). He viewed the name 'Hemadpant,' given to him to curb his pride, as an 'ornament' and a valuable lesson. In Chapter 2, he reflects that debating is a bad and extremely harmful trait. Immediately following this self-reflection, he presents the universal spiritual law: "Without faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi), Not a bit of the spiritual goal is achieved." This juxtaposition implies that faith and patience are the antidotes to the pride and competitiveness inherent in a debating nature, and embracing them is necessary to progress spiritually.
