Chapter 2 draws a stark contrast between two paths. For the faithful devotee who engages in hearing and contemplating Sai's stories, the promised outcomes are profound. Devotion is born, ignorance is destroyed, and self-bliss comes naturally. This path leads to knowledge of one's true form and the attainment of a state of happiness. Conversely, the path of argumentation is depicted as spiritually barren. It is associated with an abundance of ignorance, Maya, and bad thoughts. The text states such a person is unfit for self-knowledge and will find 'no happiness in this world or the next, only unhappiness everywhere and always.'
How does the text contrast the outcomes for a devotee with faith versus a person with a mind for argumentation?
