व्यास उवाच
Debates that affirm, deny, combine, or negate propositions remain at the level of object-focused reasoning; the sattva-established yogin transcends such oppositions by seeing Brahman alone as the underlying causal reality in all cases.
Vyāsa contrasts two modes of understanding: worldly disputation about objects (typical of those oriented to action and analysis) versus the yogic, sattvic vision that resolves multiplicity into the single causal principle, Brahman.
