The concept of Maya is described as a 'momentary' entanglement. Based on Chapter 27, what is the prescribed method for a devotee to overcome the obstructions of Maya, and what is the Guru's perspective on this process?

📖 Chapter 27

Chapter 27 describes worldly attachments—body, home, family, and the sense of 'I' and 'mine'—as the vain and momentary entanglement of Maya, comparing it to a shadow at noon. To overcome this obstruction, the prescribed method is to surrender to Sai with singular devotion. The text notes that even the Vedas and Shastras have failed to find the end of Maya, but a devotee who sees God in all beings will surely be saved. The Guru's perspective on this process is one of supreme joy and wonder. The chapter states that as a devotee turns more towards the spiritual path and away from Maya, the Guru feels more happiness in that devotee's progress.
