What was Sai Baba's guidance on argumentation and its effect on one's spiritual path?

Sai Baba provided clear advice against engaging in arguments and dualistic thinking, as mentioned in Chapter 2. He warned that a mind inclined towards argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya, leading to bad thoughts and false logic. Such a person, he stated, is unfit for self-knowledge and will only find unhappiness. Baba explicitly instructed, "Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations. Why such useless effort?" This guidance emphasizes that true spiritual progress requires moving beyond intellectual debates and dissolving the ego rather than trying to prove it right.
