Based on Chapter 23, what is the fundamental spiritual problem facing the soul and what is the path to its resolution?

📖 Chapter 23

Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra outlines a core spiritual dilemma and its solution. The fundamental problem is that the soul, which is in reality 'beyond the three gunas' and is pure Existence-Consciousness-Bliss (Sacchidananda), becomes deluded by Maya. This delusion causes it to forget its true nature and mistakenly identify with the physical body, leading to pride, doership, and a succession of calamities. The prescribed path to resolution, as stated clearly in this chapter, is 'Bhakti Yoga,' or loving devotion at the feet of the Guru. By surrendering to a master like Sai Baba, the devotee can overcome delusion, calm life's calamities, and ultimately attain peace and realize their true self.
