I've heard that Sai Baba valued faith over intellectualism. What does Chapter 12 say about the conflict between devotion and 'dry knowledge'?

Chapter 12 strongly emphasizes the superiority of faith over intellectual pride. It warns against those who are "intoxicated with the pride of knowledge" and disparage the path of devotion, suggesting their end does not seem good. The chapter posits that an ignorant person with firm faith can overcome the crisis of worldly existence, while scriptural scholars bogged down by pride and doubt remain stuck. As stated in Chapter 12, the "stiffness of dry knowledge is fruitless," and true progress comes from placing faith at the feet of saints, which destroys ignorance. Even for those proud of their knowledge, devotion can arise if they can avoid doubt.
