What is Sai Baba's perspective on argumentation, and how does it relate to the pursuit of self-knowledge?

Sai Baba's teachings, as detailed in Chapter 2, hold a very critical view of argumentation, considering it a major obstacle to spiritual progress. He states that a mind inclined towards argumentation is filled with an abundance of ignorance and Maya, not purity of self-interest. Such a person, driven by bad thoughts and false logic, is deemed unfit for self-knowledge. Baba warns that this path only leads to unhappiness in both this world and the next. He gives direct advice to not establish one's own side or refute another's, calling such dualistic explanations a 'useless effort' that prevents one from attaining the truth.
