Chapter 47 mentions that 'the ignorant but faithful are saved' while 'the highly learned are deceived.' What does this paradox imply about the nature of spiritual salvation?

This statement from Chapter 47 implies that spiritual salvation is more dependent on faith and devotion than on intellectualism or scholarly knowledge. The 'highly learned' may get caught in the intricate details and complexities of the law of Karma, causing their intellect to become a barrier that 'deceives' them. In contrast, the 'ignorant but faithful' are 'saved' because their simple, unshakeable trust allows them to be receptive to Sai's grace. As the chapter describes, Sai's merciful glance liberates one from karmic bonds, and this grace is accessed through faith rather than intellectual analysis. The passage prioritizes a heart-centered devotional path over a purely knowledge-based one.
