Sai Baba gave very clear guidance on the futility of argumentation, as recounted in Chapter 2. He warned that a mind inclined towards argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya, lacking any purity of self-interest and instead fostering bad thoughts and false logic. Baba stated such a person is unfit for self-knowledge and will only find unhappiness. His direct instruction was: "Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations. Why such useless effort?" These powerful words left a lasting impression on the author.
