Sai Baba strongly advised against intellectual argumentation and debate regarding spiritual matters. The text in Chapter 2 captures his clear stance: "Where there is a mind for argumentation, there is abundance of ignorance and Maya." He taught that such activities are born from bad thoughts and false logic, making a person unfit for self-knowledge and leading only to unhappiness. His direct instruction was to neither establish one's own side nor refute another's, labeling dualistic explanations as a "useless effort." This emphasizes his preference for faith and surrender over intellectual contention.
