How do saints like Sai Baba guide individuals who are ignorant of spiritual matters versus those who are proud scholars?

As detailed in Chapter 12, a saint's approach varies. For those who are ignorant and engrossed in worldly desires for family and wealth, a saint might devote his entire life to them, helping them cultivate firm faith. In contrast, the text offers a stern warning for those who are learned but swell with "dry pride." These scholars, who use their knowledge to obstruct the path of devotion, are not viewed favorably. The text suggests that an ignorant person with faith has a better chance of salvation than a proud scholar whose riddles are never solved, emphasizing the Guru's role in destroying ignorance through devotion.
