Based on the teachings in Chapter 23, what is the fundamental cause of human suffering and what is the prescribed solution?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 23

Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra posits that the root of human suffering is delusion (Maya), which causes the soul to forget its true nature of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss (Sacchidananda). By being deluded, the soul identifies with the body and, through pride, develops the false notion that 'I am the doer, I am the enjoyer.' This ego-driven identification leads to a succession of calamities and distress. The chapter presents a clear solution, stating that loving devotion (Bhakti Yoga) at the feet of the Guru is the singular way to calm these calamities. It further adds that hearing the stories of saints with faith and devotion is a powerful practice that helps calm sorrow and delusion, leading the devotee swiftly towards peace.
