According to Chapter 49, what defines a true devotee and what qualities should they avoid?

πŸ“– Chapter 49

Chapter 49 provides a clear definition of a devotee's ideal characteristics. It asserts that a true devotee is one who is "completely devoid of ego" and does not have pride in their physical body. The text explicitly states that a person who has "complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee.'" Conversely, it warns against qualities such as the arrogance of knowledge, the pride of superiority, and hypocrisy. The chapter also suggests that love for the Guru's feet is a devotee's only true wealth and that they should cultivate a love for the company of saints.
