भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhishma condemns the arrogant misuse of logic in sacred or learned settings: reasoned speech should serve truth and dharma, not ego, insult, or the humiliation of the wise—especially when discussing Vedic teachings.
Bhishma is recounting his own past conduct: in assemblies he habitually argued and debated, and when Brahmins discussed Vedic statements with reverence, he would aggressively interrupt, abuse, and contradict them, asserting his own contentious reasoning.
