I've heard of Samsara, the cycle of birth and death. Why do people get stuck in this cycle, and is there a way out according to Sai's teachings?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 37

According to Chapter 37, the cycle of worldly existence, or Samsara, is perpetuated by a fundamental ignorance and a sense of separation from the divine. The text states that one who believes 'Parabrahman is different from me; I am not that, I am something else' is always subject to death. This knowledge of difference, or duality, is what keeps the wheel turning, where death follows birth and rebirth follows death eternally. The way out is implied to be the realization of oneness with the divine principle, the Parabrahman. The chapter criticizes the pursuit of transient heavens through rituals because they often lack the remembrance of God, suggesting that constant devotion and overcoming the illusion of separation are key to breaking free from this cycle.
