Could you explain the philosophical concept of the soul's true nature and its delusion as described in Chapter 23?

As detailed in Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra, the soul, in its fundamental reality, is beyond the three gunas (qualities) and is characterized as Sacchidananda, a state of pure Existence-Consciousness-Bliss. The primary issue is that the soul becomes deluded by Maya, a cosmic illusion. This delusion causes it to forget its true, blissful nature. Consequently, it mistakenly identifies itself with the physical body. This false identification gives rise to ego and pride, leading the soul to think, 'I am the doer, I am the enjoyer.' This mistaken identity is the root cause of its entanglement in a succession of calamities and suffering, from which loving devotion to the Guru is presented as the only escape.
