Chapter 24 mentions that people can be 'blind despite having eyes.' What does this metaphor signify in the context of the chapter's teachings?

In Chapter 24, the phrase 'blind despite having eyes' is a metaphor for spiritual ignorance rooted in excessive body-consciousness. The text explains that people afflicted with this 'blindness' do not understand their own true welfare because they are preoccupied with the physical body, which the chapter notes has 'no certainty of it for even a moment.' This attachment causes them to chase momentary pleasures instead of seeking the supreme goal (Parmartha). This spiritual blindness prevents them from seeing the path to both worldly and spiritual well-being, a key lesson Sai Baba sought to correct through his teachings.
