What kind of mindset or behavior does Sai Baba warn against, and what are the consequences of it?

Sai Baba strongly cautions against a mind given to argumentation, as detailed in Chapter 2. He states that where there is a tendency for argumentation, there is an abundance of ignorance and Maya, with no purity of self-interest, only bad thoughts and false logic. A person with such a mindset is deemed unfit for self-knowledge and is said to be devoured by ignorance. The consequences are severe, leading to unhappiness in both this world and the next. Specifically, Sai advises, "Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations," calling such activities a "useless effort."
