Chapter 2 provides Sai Baba's clear stance on argumentation. He taught that a mind inclined towards argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya. According to Baba, such a disposition lacks purity of self-interest and is instead filled with bad thoughts and false logic. He stated that a person prone to debate is not fit for self-knowledge and is instead devoured by ignorance, leading to unhappiness in this world and the next. His direct advice was to not establish one's own side or refute the other's, and to avoid engaging in dualistic explanations, calling such activities a 'useless effort.' This teaching deeply influenced the author, Hemadpant.
