Meena Devi Dasi Thank you so much Anjali Dasi for thinking to send this. This is wonderful information. So valuable.to know
what type of discussion I might find myself in from time to time.
To name these things is to tame them.
I should have known that there would be
"three modes of discussion."
In the material world there are three modes of everything.
If I can remember this it will be a great powerful key
to unlock the ignorance all around me and within me.
I feel blessed....

Srila Jiva Gosvami says that there are three types of discussion –
vada, jalpa and vitanda.
In a vada discussion the motive of all concerned
is to find out the truth. This is the ideal kind of discussion.
It is for persons who are sober and impartial about the outcome;
they simply want to know what is the truth of the matter.
They are in the mode of goodness.

Jalpa is a discussion wherein one is not interested
in what is said by others, whether it has some truth
or all of the truth, because one simply wants to be heard.
Any other view or contribution is of no interest.
This is the way for a person in the mode of passion.

A vitanda discussion is in the mode of ignorance.
In this version the truth is of no value.
One simply wants to win at all costs.
