Sai Baba issues a stern warning against a mind preoccupied with argumentation and debate. As recorded in Chapter 2, He teaches that "Where there is a mind for argumentation, there is abundance of ignorance and Maya." He explains that such a disposition is filled with bad thoughts and false logic, making a person unfit for self-knowledge. The consequences are dire; Baba states that for such individuals, there is no happiness in this world or the next, only "unhappiness everywhere and always" as they are devoured by their own ignorance. He advises against the useless effort of trying to establish one's own side or refute another's, advocating for a non-dualistic approach to understanding.
