Chapter 5 delves into the path of self-realization, emphasizing that one's own cleverness is useless and that achieving welfare requires acting without pride. To make life meaningful, one must burn the pride of the body and be willing to become a disciple to achieve the supreme goal. The chapter further explains the nature of a wise person, whose bodily activities are dictated by previous karma, making them not the 'doer' of karma. Such a person resides in non-duality, seeing their own form as the entire universe, just as the sun cannot enter darkness. This desireless state, as seen in the young Sai, amazed all who witnessed it.
