What are the primary obstacles to attaining knowledge and salvation that are mentioned in Chapter 17 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 17 of the Sai Satcharitra identifies several significant obstacles on the spiritual path. The first major hurdle is Maya, or beginningless ignorance, described as a false imposition as illusory as a mirage. Another set of obstacles includes desires for seen and unseen enjoyments, hope, and cravings, which the text advises must be dug out by their roots. Furthermore, the chapter specifically calls out lust and anger as two tendencies that do not allow for the attainment of knowledge, as they instantly disrupt the crucial processes of listening, contemplation, and meditation. Finally, it notes that a learned person who is restless and sinful will not find peace despite their knowledge.
