Chapter 2 draws a sharp contrast between an argumentative disposition and simple, faithful devotion. Sai Baba teaches that where there is a mind for argumentation, there is an "abundance of ignorance and Maya," filled with bad thoughts and false logic. He states that such a person is unfit for self-knowledge and will only find unhappiness. In contrast, He promises that by listening to His stories with faith, devotion will arise, and He becomes "always subservient" to such a devotee. Baba explicitly advises against engaging in dualistic explanations or trying to establish one's own side while refuting another, calling it a "useless effort" that obstructs true spiritual progress.
