What are the primary teachings in Chapter 17 of Sai Satcharitra regarding the two paths of life?

Chapter 17 of the Sai Satcharitra explains the fundamental difference between two paths: Shreya, the path of salvation and good, and Preya, the path of worldly joy and pleasure. The text describes them as being as distinct as light and darkness. As detailed in Chapter 17, Shreya is equated with pure Knowledge (Vidya) and wisdom, while Preya represents pure Ignorance (Avidya) and a lack of discrimination. Those whose minds are drawn to Preya, craving worldly objects, fall away from their true self-interest. Conversely, the wise are never deluded by Preya, though the ignorant find Shreya unappealing.
