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

Chapter 23 explains that the soul, which is fundamentally Existence-Consciousness-Bliss (Sacchidananda), becomes deluded by Maya. This delusion causes it to forget its true nature and instead identify with the physical body, leading it to think "I am the doer, I am the enjoyer." As mentioned in this chapter, this pride results in a succession of calamities and distress. The only way to escape this suffering and calm these calamities is through Bhakti Yoga, which is described as loving devotion at the feet of the Guru, who can color the devotee in His own divine hue.
