According to Chapter 49, what makes someone a true devotee, and what kind of attitudes are criticized?

📖 Chapter 49

Chapter 49 provides a clear definition of what constitutes a true devotee. It states that genuine "Devotee-hood" belongs to a person who is completely devoid of ego and pride related to their physical body. The chapter strongly criticizes those who exhibit an arrogance of knowledge or a pride of superiority, labeling them as abodes of hypocrisy. Furthermore, it describes individuals who do not sing the fame of their Guru with love, or who choose not to listen to such praise, as the "personification of dull-wittedness." Therefore, humility, egolessness, and a loving focus on the Guru are presented as the core qualities of a true devotee.
