What is Sai Baba's stance on argumentation, logic, and intellectual pride?

Sai Baba takes a very clear stance against argumentation and intellectual pride, viewing them as significant spiritual obstacles. In Chapter 2, he is quoted as saying, 'Where there is a mind for argumentation, there is abundance of ignorance and Maya.' Such a mind is filled with bad thoughts and false logic, making a person unfit for self-knowledge and leading to unhappiness in this life and the next. His direct advice is to avoid establishing one's own side, refuting others, or engaging in 'dualistic explanations,' which he calls a 'useless effort.' The author, Hemadpant, reinforces this by confessing that he himself was initially arrogant about his knowledge and had a logic-driven mind, highlighting the transformation required to approach a Satguru.
