Can you elaborate on Sai Baba's perspective on argumentation and its effect on a person's spiritual journey?

Sai Baba's perspective, as detailed in Chapter 2, is that a mind inclined towards argumentation is a significant barrier to spiritual progress. He equates this tendency with an abundance of ignorance and Maya, stating that it fosters bad thoughts and false logic. Such a person is deemed unfit for self-knowledge because their intellectual pride prevents purity of self-interest. Baba warns that this mindset leads to unhappiness in both this world and the next. He strongly advises against the "useless effort" of establishing one's own side or refuting another's, as these dualistic explanations distract from the path of self-realization, which Chapter 2 presents as the ultimate goal.
