What was Sai Baba's specific advice regarding argumentation, and why did he consider it a hindrance to spiritual progress?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 2

Sai Baba strongly advised against intellectual debates and argumentation. In Chapter 2, He is quoted as saying, "Where there is a mind for argumentation, there is abundance of ignorance and Maya." He believed such a person is unfit for self-knowledge because their mind is filled with bad thoughts and false logic, leading only to unhappiness. The fifteenth chunk of Chapter 2 records his direct command: "Do not establish your own side, do not refute the other side, Do not engage in dualistic explanations. Why such useless effort?" This shows He considered argumentation a useless and distracting effort that prevents one from attaining self-knowledge and true happiness.
