Why does the text warn against argumentation, and what are the consequences of having a mind for it?

The text strongly advises against engaging in argumentation, refuting others, or offering dualistic explanations, labeling it a 'useless effort.' Chapter 2 explains that a mind inclined towards argumentation is filled with ignorance and Maya, lacking the purity of self-interest and instead harboring bad thoughts and false logic. The consequences are severe, as such a person is deemed unfit for self-knowledge and is said to be 'devoured' by ignorance. The text grimly concludes that for such individuals, there is no happiness in this world or the next, only 'unhappiness everywhere and always,' directly contrasting this path with the path of faith and surrender.
