Can you explain the concept of non-duality and the transcendence of senses as described by the author in Chapter 35?

📖 Chapter 35

Towards the end of Chapter 35, the author shifts from narrative stories to a profound philosophical description of his experience of Sai, which reflects the principle of non-duality. He explains that for him, the triad of "the seen, the seer, and the seeing" vanishes when his vision is fixed on Sai, erasing all sense of duality. This transcendence extends to other senses as well. The author states that in the sense of touch, smell, and hearing, only Sai's presence is felt. For instance, when a word is heard, Sai's form immediately manifests, and the distinction between "the heard, the hearer, and the hearing" shatters. As described in Chapter 35, this is an advanced spiritual state where the devotee perceives the divine presence of Sai in all aspects of sensory experience, collapsing the subject-object separation.
