The concept of the triad vanishing, described in Chapter 35, refers to a state of non-duality where the observer, the observed, and the act of perception merge into a single experience of Sai. The story of Kaka Mahajani's friend provides a perfect example. When the friend heard Baba's voice, the text explicitly states that the triad of "the heard, the hearer, and the hearing" shattered at once. For that man, the distinction between himself (the hearer), Baba's voice (the heard), and the act of listening dissolved. He was not merely analyzing a sound; he was immersed in a profound experience that connected to his deceased father, causing his intellectual doubts to collapse. This shows how a sensory experience, by Sai's grace, can transcend dualistic perception.
The Satcharitra mentions the 'triad' of seer, seen, and seeing vanishing. How does the story of Kaka Mahajani's friend illustrate this concept?
