According to Chapter 5, what is the significance of pride and humility in the path to self-realization?

Chapter 5 places immense importance on humility and the renunciation of pride for spiritual progress. The text explicitly states that "cleverness imagined by one's own intellect is of no use" and that one must "act without pride" to achieve their own welfare. According to the teachings in this chapter, a person who has "burned the pride of the body has made this body meaningful" and can then become a disciple to attain the supreme goal. This is exemplified by Sai Baba's own conduct, where he adopted the role of a disciple. The chapter concludes that a wise person, free from the sense of duality and pride, resides in non-duality, where their own form is the entire universe.
