According to Chapter 23, why does the soul experience suffering, and what is the recommended path to overcome it?

Chapter 23 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that the soul's suffering arises from delusion caused by Maya. In its true form, the soul is described as Existence-Consciousness-Bliss (Sacchidananda) and is beyond the three gunas. However, under Maya's influence, it forgets this true nature and identifies with the body. This leads to the prideful thought of being the 'doer' and 'enjoyer,' trapping it in a cycle of distress and calamities. The text clearly states that the one true way to calm these calamities and escape this distress is through loving devotion (Bhakti Yoga) at the feet of the Guru, who can color the devotee in His own divine hue.
