As detailed in Chapter 49, the defining characteristic of a true devotee is being "completely devoid of ego." This state of egolessness is what grants a person true "Devotee-hood." Conversely, the chapter strongly criticizes several undesirable traits. It states that anyone who has "complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee.'" It also condemns those who possess the "arrogance of knowledge and the pride of superiority," labeling them as mere abodes of hypocrisy. The chapter concludes that those who fail to sing the praises of their Guru are the "personification of dull-wittedness."
