According to Chapter 49, what are the defining characteristics that distinguish a true devotee from someone who is not?

📖 Chapter 49

Chapter 49 clearly outlines the characteristics of a genuine devotee by contrasting them with those who are not. The text asserts that an individual with 'complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of "Devotee."' True 'Devotee-hood' is possessed by one who is 'completely devoid of ego.' The chapter criticizes those who exhibit the arrogance of knowledge, the pride of superiority, and are merely abodes of hypocrisy. A true devotee finds their wealth in their love for the Guru's feet and cultivates a habit of love for the company of saints, understanding this to be their only true wealth.
