According to Chapter 32, why is a Guru's grace more important than studying scriptures?

Chapter 32 makes a strong case for the indispensability of a Guru's grace. The text explicitly states that even if a person has exhaustively studied the Vedas, Vedangas, Shrutis, and Shastras, this learning is considered 'mere chaff' without the grace of a Guru. True knowledge is not attainable through scholarly pursuits alone. The chapter emphasizes that the words from Maharaj Sai's mouth have the power to destroy sins and afflictions, similar to the sight of the Ganga or the moon, and ultimately cause one to see their own Guru, which is the key to real understanding.
