What are the two contrasting paths of life, Shreya and Preya, as explained in Chapter 17 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 17 of the Sai Satcharitra introduces two distinct paths: Shreya and Preya. Shreya is defined as the path of the Good or Salvation, which is the form of discrimination and pure Knowledge (Vidya). Conversely, Preya is the path of the Pleasant or Worldly Joy, which stems from a lack of discrimination and pure Ignorance (Avidya). The text explains that those who are drawn to Preya, which is sweet to the ignorant, fall away from their true self-interest. As stated in this chapter, the wise and courageous always cling to Shreya, while the dull-witted pursue Preya, getting caught in the cycle of maintaining the body, wealth, and status.
