It is hard to avoid that fame and gain block footsteps up, and trifles do matter. No disputation is a way to keep a low profile, maintain simplicity, and retain equanimity to recognize that the greatest truths are the simplest.
No disputation with others for benefits
Touching upon others' interests, people with a biased mind attribute their failures to others. With endless disputation, they will have an opportunity to take advantage of getting you into public opinion in a roundabout way. No disputation for benefits reflects a clear understanding of life instead of fear. By putting time and attention on longer-term matters, I am able to achieve results; however, the small benefits in front of me are only drops in the ocean. The smarter a person is, the less they dispute with others over benefits; smart individuals silently enhance their potential energy every time and make their wings fuller.
No disputation with others for being virtuous and talented
No disputation with others for being virtuous and talented isn’t inferior to my cognition but rather replaces competition with helping others achieve success. Stopping comparisons with others allows me to discover that another's brilliance serves as a mirror illuminating me; by appreciating others, I can understand that their goodness acts as a banner leading me to higher places as well. The truly powerful accommodate rather than overpower anyone and converge without overshadowing the light. Focusing my mind on self-growth while maintaining breadth of mind higher than jealousy and keeping pace with modesty will allow me quietly grow wings while winning respect and fostering long-term relationships.
