O Hali, you should not get involved in the disputes of religious people. This is a conflict that you will not be able to resolve.

Hali offers a wry, gentle piece of advice to himself—and to all of us—to steer clear of the endless theological squabbles of the devout. These dogmatic disputes are fueled more by ego and rigid self-righteousness than true spirituality, making them impossible to ever resolve. With a touch of warm irony, he reminds us that diving into such pointless debates will only wear us out, and true wisdom lies in staying peacefully above the fray.
