SB 11.22.34

Those who do not know Paramātmā, who are fixed in goals other than me, engage in arguments concerning the reality or unreality of the world, and do not cease to argue, though they achieve no results. They have turned their thoughts from me, the Lord, who gives regard only to the devotees. “Learned persons who can destroy doubts can certainly determine the truth.” No, they simply quarrel among themselves. Some maintain, with proof, that the world is real. Some proclaim that the world is false, attacking the first claim. They show lack of knowledge of Paramātmā, because Paramātmā, understood only by realization, is beyond logical argument. A person fixed in a goal other than me, or a person who is fixed in defeating others’ arguments, achieves no result, such as piety, sin, Svarga or hell. Though it is pointless, that person does not stop arguing. This is because of his nature arising from māyā. yac-chaktayo vadatāṁ vādināṁ vai vivāda-saṁvāda-bhuvo bhavanti kurvanti caiṣāṁ muhur ātma-mohaṁ tasmai namo 'nanta-guṇāya bhūmne I offer respects to the great Lord of eternal qualities, whose material energy is the cause of agreement and disagreement among those who make philosophies and then argue with others, whose material energy continually bewilders them as to the real nature of ātmā. SB 6.4.31 Moreover, though they have attained a path to achieve me after many births, they fall from that path. Those who know the path to attain me, after understanding the meaning of the scriptures, take to arguing, have their intelligence turned away from me (parāvṛtta-dhiyām), who look upon my devotees and no others with mercy (sva-lokāt). My devotees are not eager for arguments. They make their lives successful by thinking of me only and not about argumentation. It is hinted that one should not waste one’s life by inquiry about truth in the world through arguments.
