In Chapter 12, the author criticizes a certain type of scholar. What are the specific criticisms and warnings provided?

Chapter 12 issues a strong critique against scholars who are puffed up with intellectual pride. It warns readers not to keep the company of those who are well-versed in scriptures like the Vedas but are "intoxicated with the pride of knowledge" and use it to "obstruct the path of devotion." The chapter suggests that the end for such individuals does not seem good. It also cautions against becoming a "heretical scholar" and notes that the "stiffness of dry knowledge is fruitless." The core message is that an over-reliance on intellect without faith leads to a spiritual dead end, where the scholar's riddle is never solved.
