Can you explain the difference between the paths of Shreya and Preya as described in Chapter 17 of Sai Satcharitra?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 17

Chapter 17 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that Shreya (the Good) and Preya (the Pleasant) are fundamentally opposite, like light and darkness. Shreya is the path of salvation, representing wisdom and pure Knowledge (Vidya), while Preya is the path of worldly joy, representing ignorance (Avidya) and a lack of discrimination. The text clarifies that those who pursue Preya are drawn to worldly objects, gold, and women, and ultimately fall away from their true self-interest. In contrast, the wise and courageous cling only to Shreya, turning away from the temporary sweetness of Preya.
