Can you explain the concept of duality and why Sai Baba teaches that it is a form of ignorance?

📖 Chapter 14

In the teachings from Chapter 14, duality, or 'manifoldness,' is the perception of being separate from others and the world around you. It is the mindset that establishes a difference between 'I' and 'other.' Sai Baba identifies this intellect as 'pure ignorance' because it obscures the true nature of reality. This sense of difference is caused by errors like delusion and results in the mind getting 'stuck.' According to Chapter 14, holding onto this duality is what perpetuates the cycle of birth and death. The path to liberation is to abandon this sense of separation and understand that name, form, and action are all attributes of a single, unbroken essence.
