What was Sai Baba's advice regarding argumentation and intellectual debate, and what did he say were the consequences of ignoring it?

Sai Baba strongly advised against engaging in intellectual debates and argumentation. As recounted in Chapter 2, he warned that a mind inclined toward argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya, lacking the purity required for self-knowledge. He stated such a person is consumed by bad thoughts and false logic. The consequences are severe: Baba declared that for such individuals, "there is no happiness in this world or the next, only unhappiness everywhere and always." His direct instruction was to not establish one's own side or refute another's, calling such dualistic explanations a "useless effort."
