How does Chapter 46 contrast Sai Baba's treatment of the proud versus the simple-hearted?

Chapter 46 presents a clear contrast in how Sai Baba's grace operates. It mentions that wise pundits and clever people, despite their knowledge, can get stuck in the pit of worldly existence due to their pride. In stark opposition to this, the chapter states that Sai Baba makes the 'simple, innocent, and ignorant ones play by His own power.' This illustrates a core teaching within the chapter: that surrender and simple faith are more valuable than intellectual pride, and that Baba's divine play favors the humble devotee over the learned who are filled with ego.
