The text forbids arguing or refuting others. How is anyone supposed to find truth if they can't engage in debate or point out falsehoods?

📖 Chapter 2

Within the context of Chapter 2, the path to truth is presented as an internal, devotional journey rather than an external, intellectual one. Sai Baba explicitly advises, 'Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations. Why such useless effort?' This guidance suggests that argumentation fosters ignorance and Maya, leading to unhappiness. The prescribed alternative is to engage with Baba's stories through hearing and contemplation. This practice is said to naturally give rise to faith, self-experience, and ultimately, the realization of one's true form, bypassing the need for debate as a means of discovery.
