What does Chapter 32 say about the importance of a Guru and the power of Sai Baba's words?

Chapter 32 places immense emphasis on the necessity of a Guru's grace for attaining true knowledge. The text explicitly states that even if one has studied the Vedas and Shastras, without a Guru's grace, all other efforts are like mere chaff. The chapter further glorifies the power of Sai Baba's words, comparing their effect to the purifying sight of the Ganga or the soothing sight of the moon. As narrated in Chapter 32, the words spoken from Sai's own mouth have the power to destroy sins and afflictions, generate devotion and love in listeners, and ultimately cause one to see one's own Guru.
