What was Sai Baba's perspective on argumentation, and how did it influence the author's narrative structure?

Sai Baba strongly advised against intellectual debates and argumentation. As quoted in Chapter 2, He cautioned, "Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, do not engage in dualistic explanations. Why such useless effort?" He taught that a mind inclined towards argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya, making it unfit for attaining self-knowledge. This specific teaching, as the author reveals in Chapter 2, directly influenced the book's structure. Remembering Baba's words, "Do not engage in dualistic explanations," prompted the author to pause the main narrative and fulfill his promise to explain how he received the name "Hemadpant," thereby satisfying the reader's curiosity.
