What is the significance of the Guru in overcoming ignorance and realizing the Self, according to Chapter 26?

According to the philosophical teachings in Chapter 26, the Guru is the only one capable of granting the disciple the knowledge of Truth. The text explains that the illusory nature of the world dissolves when the time for awakening through the Guru’s word arrives. The devotee prays to Sai Baba, the Sadguru, to make their intellect turn inward and grant them discrimination between the eternal and the temporary. True knowledge is only realized when the Guru-Soul, who is God, is pleased, highlighting the Guru's indispensable role in spiritual awakening.
