What does Chapter 32 say about the importance of a Guru compared to scriptural knowledge?

According to Chapter 32, the grace of a Guru is paramount and indispensable for gaining true knowledge. The text explicitly states that even if one has studied the Vedas and Vedangas or recited Shrutis and Shastras, without the Guru's grace, there is no real knowledge, and all other learning is dismissed as "mere chaff." The chapter emphasizes that the words from Sai Baba's own mouth are powerful enough to destroy sins and afflictions. More profoundly, listening to the words from Maharaj Sai's mouth is said to cause one to see one's own Guru, highlighting the Guru's central role in spiritual realization over mere intellectual pursuit.
