What does the Shri Sai Satcharitra identify as a major obstacle on the spiritual path, and how does this obstacle manifest?

According to Chapter 35 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, pride in one's own spiritual path is described as a terrible forest and the most formidable obstacle for a seeker of supreme truth. This pride often manifests as skepticism and judgment towards other paths. For instance, the text gives an example of worshippers of the formless who consider a God with form to be rooted in illusion. This leads them to question the practice of bowing to saints or giving them monetary offerings (Dakshina), viewing such acts of reverence as a 'mockery of devotion' and believing saints are merely human.
