Chapter 49 draws a sharp distinction between a true devotee and one who is not. A true devotee is described as someone who is "completely devoid of ego." Conversely, the text explicitly states that a person who "has complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee.'" The chapter further criticizes those who possess the "arrogance of knowledge and the pride of superiority" and are filled with hypocrisy. It also suggests that true devotion involves actively singing the Guru's fame with love, implying that humility and praise are essential qualities.
