The text strongly cautions against a mind focused on argumentation, refuting others, and engaging in dualistic explanations. Chapter 2 states that where there is a mind for argumentation, there is an abundance of ignorance, Maya, bad thoughts, and false logic. Such a person is deemed unfit for self-knowledge and is instead devoured by ignorance. The consequences are severe, as the text claims there is no happiness for them in this world or the next, only unhappiness everywhere and always. True devotion, by contrast, requires moving beyond such useless efforts.
