What is the concept of 'Purushartha' in Chapter 17, and what circumstances lead to its awakening in an individual?

In Chapter 17 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, 'Purushartha' is described as true human effort and the ultimate purpose of human life, which is to discard the path of Preya (the pleasant) and honor the path of Shreya (the good). The awakening of Purushartha is not a casual occurrence; it is born from profound suffering. The text explains that when a person becomes utterly exhausted by the three unendurable torments (Tritapa) and the relentless cycle of worldly existence (Samsara), they begin to search for a way to end their sorrow. This fortunate turn of thought, this investigation into finding a means for one's own true self-interest, is what gives birth to true manhood or Purushartha.
