What is the 'natural state' or 'Sahaj-sthiti' described in the Satcharitra and how is it achieved?

The 'natural state,' or 'Sahaj-sthiti,' is a profound state of non-dual devotion described in Chapter 50. It is characterized as a state where the perception of 'I' and 'You' as separate entities completely dissolves. The text presents this as the ultimate request made to Sai, a state where the heart becomes pure through the awakening of devotion. This Sahaj-sthiti is considered a supreme attainment, even more desirable than the four traditional types of liberation. Achieving this state requires listening with a one-pointed mind and perceiving Sai in one's heart, which allows all the tendencies of the senses to become 'Sai-form,' merging into a single essence like waves in water.
