According to Sai Baba's teachings in this section, what kind of mindset is detrimental to achieving self-knowledge, and what are the consequences?

In the teachings recorded in Chapter 2, Sai Baba warns against a specific mindset that hinders spiritual progress. He states that a mind focused on argumentation, establishing one's own side, refuting others, and engaging in dualistic explanations is filled with ignorance and Maya. Such a person, driven by bad thoughts and false logic, is considered unfit for self-knowledge. The consequences are severe: Sai explains that for such individuals, there is no happiness in this world or the next, only unhappiness everywhere and always. This serves as a direct warning against intellectual pride and contention.
