What was Sai Baba's guidance regarding argumentation, and what did he say about those who engage in it?

Sai Baba gave a strong warning against argumentation, as detailed in Chapter 2. He advised, "Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations." He considered such debates a "useless effort." Baba explained that a mind inclined toward argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya, harboring bad thoughts and false logic. He stated that such a person is not fit for self-knowledge and is instead devoured by ignorance, destined to find only unhappiness in this world and the next.
