What was Sai Baba's perspective on argumentation and debate, and how did it relate to spiritual progress?

Sai Baba strongly advised against engaging in argumentation and dualistic explanations. As recorded in Chapter 2, He stated, "Where there is a mind for argumentation, there is abundance of ignorance and Maya." He taught that such a mindset lacks purity of self-interest and is filled with bad thoughts and false logic. According to Baba, a person prone to debate is not fit for self-knowledge and is instead devoured by ignorance, finding only unhappiness in this world and the next. He urged followers not to establish their own side or refute others, questioning the value of such useless effort.
