What does Chapter 12 say about the value of faith compared to knowledge, especially for those who are considered ignorant?

In Chapter 12, a clear distinction is made between firm faith and what is termed "the stiffness of dry knowledge," which is considered fruitless. The text explains that some people are ignorant and do not know the spiritual supreme goal, instead wallowing in desires for worldly things. However, it is stated that God and saints affectionately care for these ignorant and innocent ones. A saint might even devote his life to them, and through this compassionate guidance, firm faith will manifest, which is far more valuable than prideful, dry knowledge.
