Chapter 2 presents a strong viewpoint that a mind focused on argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya, leading to bad thoughts and false logic. Such a person is considered unfit for self-knowledge and is destined for unhappiness. Sai Baba's words advise against establishing one's own side or refuting others. The author, who admits he used to be a staunch debater, reinforces this by sharing a tragic anecdote. As described in Chapter 2, a close friend's virtuous and healthy son was stricken with fever. Despite trying all human remedies and even having a Guru physically present, the son passed away, illustrating the futility of human effort and logic when faced with destiny.
