Does Baba's warning against argumentation mean that devotees are forbidden from studying religious scriptures like the Vedas?

The provided text from Chapter 2 does not forbid the study of scriptures like the Vedas. In fact, it states that the magic of hearing Baba's stories is that 'This is the entire goal of the Vedas, and the devotee becomes enriched by it.' Baba's warning is specifically against a 'mind for argumentation,' which is associated with 'ignorance and Maya,' 'bad thoughts and false logic.' He advises, 'Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations.' The prohibition is on engaging in useless, ego-driven debate, not on sincere study which leads to self-knowledge and bliss.
