How does Sai Baba contrast a mind given to argumentation with one open to self-knowledge?

Sai Baba draws a sharp contrast between these two mindsets in Chapter 2. He states that a mind focused on argumentation is filled with an abundance of ignorance and Maya, characterized by bad thoughts and false logic. Such a person, focused on establishing their own side and refuting others, is not fit for self-knowledge and is instead devoured by ignorance, leading to unhappiness. This is directly opposed to the path of devotion, where faith and surrender lead to self-experience and bliss. The author himself admits to having had a logic-driven, argumentative mind before learning of the Satguru's greatness, highlighting this as a major obstacle to spiritual progress.
