Towards the end of Chapter 35, the author describes a profound mystical experience of non-duality in the presence of Sai Baba. This concept involves the transcendence of the separation between the observer and the observed. The text explains that Sai's presence permeates all senses. For instance, when looking at Sai, the "triad of the seen, the seer, and the seeing vanishes," erasing any sense of separation. This isn't limited to sight; the chapter notes that this dissolution of the triad also occurs with the senses of touch, smell, and hearing. When a word is heard, Sai's form manifests, and the distinctions between the hearer, the heard, and the act of hearing shatter. As Chapter 35 beautifully illustrates, this is an advanced spiritual state where the devotee's individual consciousness merges with the object of devotion, Sai, resulting in a unified, non-dual experience.
Can you explain the concept of the dissolution of duality as described at the end of Chapter 35, particularly in relation to experiencing Sai Baba?
