Chapter 5 of the Sai Satcharitra delves into the nature of a truly wise person. It states that intellectual cleverness is useless and that one must act without pride to achieve welfare. The text emphasizes that one who has burned the pride of the body can become a disciple to attain the supreme goal. As described in Chapter 5, a wise person's bodily activities happen according to previous karma, and they are not the doer. They live in a state of non-duality, free from the sense of 'I' and 'mine,' much like the sun cannot enter darkness. This desireless state is the path to climbing the "fort of selflessness."
