What is Sai Baba's guidance regarding argumentation and intellectual debate?

Sai Baba's guidance, as detailed in Chapter 2, is to avoid argumentation and intellectual pride. The text cautions, "Where there is a mind for argumentation, there is abundance of ignorance and Maya." It suggests that such a mindset is filled with bad thoughts and false logic, making a person unfit for self-knowledge and leading only to unhappiness. Baba's direct advice is to "not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, do not engage in dualistic explanations." He calls this a "useless effort." This perspective highlights the importance of faith and surrender over intellectual contention on the spiritual path.
