Chapter 46 of the Sai Satcharitra draws a sharp contrast in how Sai Baba's power interacts with different types of people. The text notes that "Wise pundits and clever people get stuck in the pit of worldly existence due to pride." This indicates that intellectual arrogance acts as a barrier, preventing them from experiencing divine grace. In contrast, the chapter states that Baba makes "the simple, innocent, and ignorant ones play by Your own power" (Chapter 46). This suggests that humility, simplicity, and a lack of ego are qualities that make one receptive to his grace. Baba bypasses the clever who are trapped by their own pride and instead elevates the humble, demonstrating that faith and innocence are more valuable than intellectual prowess in the spiritual path (Chapter 46).
According to Chapter 46, how does Sai Baba's grace affect the intellectually proud compared to the simple and innocent?
