What is the book's advice regarding argumentation and debate, and what are its consequences?

The text strongly warns against engaging in argumentation and debate. Chapter 2 describes a mind focused on argumentation as being full of ignorance and Maya, which fosters bad thoughts and false logic. It explicitly states that such a person is not fit for self-knowledge and will only find unhappiness in this world and the next. The author quotes the advice to not establish one's own side or refute another's, calling such dualistic explanations a "useless effort." This suggests that intellectual sparring is a significant barrier to spiritual progress and happiness.
