Can you provide the definitions of 'Maya' and 'dualistic explanations' based on this text?

📖 Chapter 2

The excerpts from Chapter 2 use the terms 'Maya' and 'dualistic explanations' but do not provide formal definitions for them. The text associates a mind inclined towards argumentation with an abundance of ignorance and Maya, suggesting it is a state of illusion that prevents self-knowledge and leads to unhappiness. Regarding 'dualistic explanations,' Sai Baba's direct advice is quoted: "Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations. Why such useless effort?" This implies that the term refers to engaging in pointless debates and arguments rather than seeking a unified, non-argumentative truth, but a precise philosophical definition is not given in Chapter 2.
