How does Chapter 32 emphasize the supreme importance of a Guru over scholarly learning?

Chapter 32 strongly posits the necessity of a Guru for attaining true knowledge. The text states that even if one has extensively studied the Vedas, Vedangas, Shrutis, and Shastras, all this effort is considered 'mere chaff' without the grace of a Guru. It argues that there can be no real knowledge without the Guru's guidance. The chapter further prepares the reader for Baba's own story by stating that the words from Sai's mouth have the power to make one see their own Guru, highlighting that direct spiritual experience facilitated by a master surpasses any amount of scriptural recitation.
