What is the deeper significance of attaining Sai's 'darshan' as presented at the start of Chapter 15?

The beginning of Chapter 15 frames the attainment of Sai's vision, or darshan, as a highly significant spiritual event. It is not something easily achieved but is reserved for those whose 'immense merits have borne fruit.' The chapter emphasizes that the significance lies in its transformative power. As described in Chapter 15, those who are granted this vision find that the 'threefold afflictions' no longer bother them. More importantly, this experience provides them with the means to achieve the 'supreme goal' (Paramartha), positioning the darshan as a critical milestone on the path to ultimate spiritual liberation and peace.
