What is described as the most formidable obstacle on the spiritual path in Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 35 of the Sai Satcharitra identifies a significant spiritual impediment, stating, "pride in one's own path becomes a terrible forest; There is no obstacle more difficult and formidable than this pride." The chapter elaborates on this by describing the mindset of those who believe their path, such as the worship of the formless, is superior. This pride leads them to look down upon saints like Sai Baba, viewing them as ordinary humans and questioning practices like offering Dakshina. The chapter suggests that this arrogance prevents individuals from recognizing the divinity in a Sadguru, but also shows that a direct encounter with Sai could dissolve this very pride.
