Based on the text, what was Sai Baba's perspective on argumentation and intellectual debate?

Sai Baba held a very critical view of argumentation and intellectual debate, seeing it as a major obstacle to spiritual progress. In the guidance provided in Chapter 2, he states that a mind inclined towards argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya. He believed such a disposition lacks the purity of self-interest and is instead dominated by bad thoughts and false logic. Baba warned that a person engaged in such activities is not fit for self-knowledge and will only find unhappiness. His direct advice was to avoid establishing one's own side, refuting others, or engaging in dualistic explanations, calling such activities a "useless effort."
