Based on Chapter 15, what is the prerequisite for attaining the 'darshan' of Sai, and what are the consequences of this attainment?

According to the opening verses of Chapter 15, the prerequisite for attaining the vision, or 'darshan,' of Sai is the fruition of one's immense merits. It is not a casual occurrence but a result of past good deeds. The chapter clearly states, "Those whose immense merits have borne fruit, Only they attain the vision (darshan) of Sai." The profound consequence of this attainment is liberation from worldly suffering. As Chapter 15 further explains, once a devotee achieves this vision, "the threefold afflictions do not bother them, And they achieve the means to the supreme goal (Paramartha)." This sets the stage for the stories that follow, emphasizing the spiritual significance of connecting with the Guru.
