What kind of intellectual attitude did Sai Baba warn against, and what did he say were the consequences?

Chapter 2 reveals that Sai Baba strongly warned against a specific intellectual attitude, particularly one centered on argumentation. He stated that where there is a mind for argumentation, there is an abundance of ignorance and Maya (illusion), and such a mindset lacks purity and is filled with bad thoughts and false logic. He advised against trying to establish one's own side or refute another's, calling such dualistic explanations a "useless effort." According to Baba, the consequences for a person with this disposition are severe: they are not fit for self-knowledge and are instead devoured by their own ignorance. He concluded that for such individuals, there is no happiness in this world or the next, only unhappiness everywhere and always.
