Why does Hemadpant describe debating as a 'bad trait,' and how does this relate to the necessity of faith and patience?

Hemadpant views debating as a "bad trait" because it is born from pride and ego, which are obstacles to spiritual learning. In Chapter 2, he explains that he received a lesson specifically so that his "pride of debating should dissolve" and he would learn to "always be humble." He contrasts this prideful tendency with the humility of divine figures like Rama and Krishna before their Gurus. The narrative then logically connects this to the core requirements for spiritual advancement. The path is not through intellectual argument but through humility, which makes one receptive to a Guru's grace. This receptiveness is built on the foundations of faith (Shraddha) and patience (Saburi).
