The opening verses of Chapter 15 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra state very clearly who is fortunate enough to attain the vision, or 'darshan,' of Sai. It says, "Those whose immense merits have borne fruit, Only they attain the vision (darshan) of Sai." This implies that receiving darshan is not a casual event but the result of accumulated good karma and spiritual readiness. The profound benefits of this vision are also described immediately: those who attain it are freed from the 'threefold afflictions' that trouble beings in the world, and more importantly, they "achieve the means to the supreme goal (Paramartha)." This indicates that seeing Sai is a pivotal spiritual milestone that removes suffering and sets one firmly on the path to ultimate liberation.
