Why is the path of Knowledge considered more perilous than the path of Devotion in these teachings?

The text from Chapter 19 explains that the path of Knowledge (Jnana) carries more risk than the path of Devotion (Bhakti). It notes that the metaphorical Ramphal, representing Knowledge, has the 'fear of falling,' and that 'even a man of knowledge is not fearless.' This path requires the practitioner to achieve victory over Siddhis (powers) and allows for no negligence. The path of Devotion, represented by the Sitaphal fruit, is described as requiring 'no such labor' and being 'invaluable despite the little effort needed.' For these reasons, as detailed in Chapter 19, Sai Baba often guided his disciples toward the less perilous and more accessible path of Devotion and mantra chanting (Namasmaran).
