How does Chapter 27 contrast the illusion of Maya with the path of devotion to the Sadguru?

📖 Chapter 27

In Chapter 27, a clear distinction is drawn between the transient nature of worldly existence, termed Maya, and the eternal truth found through devotion to the Sadguru. The chapter describes the business of "I" and "mine"—attachments to body, home, son, and wife—as momentary Maya, comparing it to a fleeting shadow at noon. To escape this entanglement, which even the Vedas and Shastras have struggled to overcome, the text proposes a single-minded solution: surrendering to Sai with singular devotion. As explained in this chapter, while Maya creates distinctions and attachments, faith in the Guru's feet leads to the subsiding of passions and the awakening of grace.
