Chapter 24 mentions that people are 'blind despite having eyes.' How does the chapter elaborate on this condition and contrast it with Sai Baba's method of instruction?

In Chapter 24, the phrase 'blind despite having eyes' describes people who are dominated by their body-consciousness, preventing them from understanding their true welfare. The chapter explains that because of this attachment, they chase momentary pleasures even though the physical body is transient and its existence is uncertain. This spiritual blindness obstructs their path to the supreme goal. As Chapter 24 highlights, Sai Baba's method of teaching through humor was a direct antidote. His playful yet profound jokes served to awaken people from this state, impressing the essence of truth effortlessly and naturally.
