Chapter 35 mentions the dissolution of the 'triad of the seen, the seer, and the seeing.' How does the story of Kaka Mahajani's friend reflect a similar breakdown of preconceived notions?

Chapter 35 opens with a philosophical description of how a devotee's perception merges with Sai, dissolving the triad of observer, observed, and observation. The subsequent story of Kaka Mahajani's friend provides a practical illustration of this principle. The friend arrived with a strong, dualistic framework: he (the seer) would observe the saint (the seen) with 'clinical curiosity' (the seeing), all while maintaining his firm resolves. However, Baba's miraculous intervention shattered this triad. By speaking in the friend's father's voice, Baba bypassed the man's intellectual and critical faculties. The friend was no longer a detached observer; he became a participant in a deeply personal event. As Chapter 35 recounts, he 'forgot his previous resolve' and bowed, showing that his preconceived notions and the ego-driven triad of his skepticism had completely dissolved.
