What is Sai Baba's perspective on argumentation and intellectual debates?

Sai Baba holds a critical view of argumentation, linking it directly to ignorance and Maya. According to Chapter 2, where there is a mind for argumentation, there is no purity of self-interest, only bad thoughts and false logic. Such a person is deemed unfit for self-knowledge and is destined for unhappiness. Baba explicitly advises, "Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations." He considers this a useless effort. This sentiment is reinforced by the author's own reflection on his past self, who was cynical, critical, and proud of his logic-driven mind before understanding the Satguru's greatness.
