Based on Chapter 32, why is having a Guru considered more important than studying scriptures like the Vedas?

Chapter 32 strongly emphasizes the supreme importance of a Guru for attaining true knowledge. It explicitly states that even if one has exhaustively studied the Vedas, Vedangas, Shrutis, and Shastras, all that learning is considered "mere chaff" without the grace of a Guru. The core teaching presented is that "without Guru's grace there is no knowledge." This chapter suggests that scriptural knowledge alone is incomplete and ineffective. True spiritual understanding and liberation from the sorrows of worldly existence are only possible through the guidance and grace bestowed by a Guru, whose words have the power to destroy sins and reveal the path.
