I enjoy debating spiritual topics. What is Sai Baba's view on argumentation as a path to knowledge?

Sai Baba's teachings, as recorded in Chapter 2, strongly caution against using argumentation as a means for spiritual understanding. The text explicitly states, 'Where there is a mind for argumentation, there is abundance of ignorance and Maya.' It further elaborates that such a mindset is filled with 'bad thoughts and false logic' and makes a person unfit for self-knowledge, leading only to unhappiness. Baba’s direct advice was to 'not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, do not engage in dualistic explanations,' dismissing it as a 'useless effort.' The preferred path is one of faith and devotion born from hearing His stories.
