Towards its conclusion, Chapter 35 delves into the advanced spiritual state of non-duality experienced by a devotee. It describes a merging of the self with Sai's presence through all senses. The text explains that the "triad of the seen, the seer, and the seeing vanishes," which erases the feeling of duality. This means the distinction between the person observing, the object being observed, and the act of observation itself ceases to exist, leaving only the singular consciousness of Sai. This phenomenon is not limited to sight; the chapter states that when a word is heard, "the heard, the hearer, and the hearing fly away; the triad shatters at once." This indicates a complete dissolution of the individual ego into the divine, where every sensory perception is a direct experience of Sai.
Explain the philosophical experience of non-duality described towards the end of Chapter 35.
