In Chapter 35, the author describes the experience of being a devotee as one of total absorption in Sai, transcending the senses and duality. The author states that for a devotee, a mere glance from Sai is enough to take away thirst and hunger, comparing devotees to young tortoises "nourished only by a glance." This experience dissolves the separation between the observer and the observed. As the chapter beautifully puts it, the triad of "the seen, the seer, and the seeing vanishes." This applies to all senses, where the experience of touch, smell, or hearing immediately manifests Sai's form and shatters the triad of hearer, heard, and hearing, indicating a state of non-dual consciousness.
