What is the role of the Guru in achieving true knowledge as described in this chapter?

According to the teachings in Chapter 26, the Guru is absolutely essential for spiritual awakening and overcoming the illusion of Maya. The text states that in the entire world, only the Guru is capable of granting the knowledge of Truth to a disciple. The author prays to the Sadguru, Sai Baba, to bestow the ability to discriminate between the eternal and the temporary and to foster detachment. It is through the Guru's word that the time for awakening arrives, causing the illusory world to dissolve and the light of non-dual bliss to shine. This chapter emphasizes that without the Guru's guidance, one remains hidden behind the screen of nescience.
