According to Chapter 49, what makes someone a true devotee of Sai, and what are the characteristics of those who are not?

📖 Chapter 49

Chapter 49 provides a clear definition of a true devotee by contrasting them with those who lack genuine devotion. The text states that a person who "has complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee,'" and that true "Devotee-hood" belongs to the one who is "completely devoid of ego." Conversely, those who are not true devotees are characterized by the "arrogance of knowledge and the pride of superiority" and are described as an "abode of hypocrisy." The chapter also criticizes those who fail to sing their Guru's praises with love, calling them the "personification of dull-wittedness." Therefore, humility and the absence of ego are presented as the essential qualities of a genuine devotee.
