According to Chapter 32, why is the grace of a Guru considered more important than studying scriptures like the Vedas?

Chapter 32 makes a strong case for the supremacy of a Guru's grace over scholarly learning. It explicitly states that even if one has studied the Vedas, Vedangas, and other scriptures, this knowledge is considered mere "chaff" without the Guru's grace. True knowledge is unattainable without it. The chapter further explains that the words spoken by a Guru, like Maharaj Sai, are profoundly transformative. As mentioned in Chapter 32, these words can destroy sins and afflictions and, most importantly, cause one to see one's own Guru, highlighting a direct, experiential path to wisdom over intellectual pursuit.
