Chapter 49 provides clear guidance on what constitutes a true devotee. The most crucial quality is a complete lack of ego and pride in one's body or knowledge. The text states that one who has "complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee,'" and true "Devotee-hood" belongs to the one "completely devoid of ego." The chapter warns against the pitfalls of arrogance, hypocrisy, and the pride of superiority. It also criticizes those who, though not deaf, do not listen to or sing the fame of their Guru with love, calling them "the personification of dull-wittedness." Ultimately, as described in Chapter 49, love for the Guru's feet is considered the only true wealth for a devotee.
