Sai Baba strongly advises against engaging in argumentation and what he calls "dualistic explanations." In Chapter 2, he explicitly links a mind inclined towards argumentation with an abundance of ignorance and Maya. He warns that in such a state, there is no purity of self-interest, only "bad thoughts and false logic." The text clearly states that a person who is argumentative is not fit for self-knowledge and is instead devoured by ignorance. The primary consequence he describes is a life filled with unhappiness, not only in this world but also in the next. Therefore, Baba's direct guidance is to avoid establishing one's own side or refuting another's, deeming such efforts as useless.
