How does Chapter 23 describe the nature of the soul and the path to overcome its delusion?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 23

Chapter 23 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that the soul's true nature is Existence-Consciousness-Bliss (Sacchidananda), but it becomes deluded by Maya. This delusion causes the soul to forget its true self, identify with the body, and develop pride, thinking "I am the doer, I am the enjoyer." This leads to a cycle of calamities and distress. The chapter posits that the only way to escape this suffering is through loving devotion (Bhakti Yoga) at the feet of the Guru. This devotion allows a great master like Sai to color His devotees in His own hue, helping them transcend their mistaken identity.
