Why does the author of the Satcharitra emphasize experiential knowledge over intellectual understanding in Chapter 26?

In Chapter 26, the author makes a critical distinction between theoretical knowledge and direct experience. The text explicitly states, "without experience, the exhaustion of speech achieves nothing in spirituality." The devotee prays to Sai Samarth to make the knowledge of the non-dual Self meaningful through personal, direct experience, not just through words or logic. This is why the author asks Baba for the ultimate gift of the "natural state of union (Sayujya) through Your grace." The chapter conveys that true spiritual realization is not an intellectual exercise but a state of being that must be experienced firsthand, a grace bestowed by the Guru.
