What is Sai Baba's philosophy on argumentation and debate as presented in this chapter?

Chapter 2 presents Sai Baba's strong opposition to argumentation. He states that a mind inclined towards argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya (illusion), and lacks purity of self-interest, being dominated by bad thoughts and false logic. According to the text, such a person is not fit for self-knowledge and is destined for unhappiness in this world and the next. Sai's direct advice is to avoid establishing one's own side, refuting others, or engaging in dualistic explanations, calling such efforts a 'useless effort.' This teaching is what prompts the author to tell the story of how he was named 'Hemadpant,' as a practical illustration of this very principle.
