As someone new to Sai's path, what negative traits should I work on overcoming?

Chapter 37 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra provides clear guidance for a spiritual seeker. It explicitly identifies Adharma (unrighteousness), ignorance, anger, and hatred as the 'nooses of death.' These are the primary negative tendencies one must strive to overcome. The text explains that the root of these issues often lies in a deluded sense of separation, where one believes 'Parabrahman is different from me.' This feeling of being separate perpetuates the cycle of birth and death. To counter this, the chapter advises seeing the one divine principle in all of creation, from the creator down to a blade of grass. By working to overcome these negative traits and the illusion of separation, one can move towards a state of fearlessness and unity.
