What are the two opposing paths for human beings described in Chapter 17 of the Sai Satcharitra?

πŸ“– Chapter 17

Chapter 17 of the Sai Satcharitra details two fundamentally different paths: Shreya and Preya. Shreya is defined as the 'Path of Salvation' or 'the Good,' representing pure Knowledge (Vidya) and wisdom. Conversely, Preya is the 'Path of Worldly Joy' or 'the Pleasant,' which is a form of pure Ignorance (Avidya). The text emphasizes that these two paths are as opposite in nature as light and darkness. It warns that a person whose mind is drawn towards Preya ultimately falls away from their own true self-interest, whereas the wise are never deluded by its temporary allure.
