“In Vedantic discourse, of which the
Bhagavata is part, the final conclusion is always established after reflecting on
an opposing argument. Vedantic scholars tried to clear all doubts from their
theses by a vigorous examination of other schools of thought. Indeed so much
of Hindu theology involves argument, counter-argument, and reply. The
formal process of reasoning was thus:
1 The thesis is presented (visaya);
2 A doubt is raised about that thesis (samdeha);
3 Based on that doubt, a criticism or counter-argument is formulated
(purva-paksa);
4 The thesis is re-presented in the light of and in response to the criticism
(siddhanta).”

“In Veksh," said Trishka, "our mothers teach us that there's a type of story called zejhasa, the braided path: a new tale that starts before the old tale has ended, and which could not exist alone. Every life is zejhasa. Before we are born, our mothers live their own stories, and when we are young, our existence is twined with theirs - small threads in a wider pattern. But as we grow, these threads begin to separate, forming new strands, new lives, new purposes. Our mothers' stories go on, enriched; but ours will always begin before theirs have ended.”
