According to Chapter 49, what makes someone a true devotee of Sai Baba? Is it just about doing rituals?

Chapter 49 of the Sai Satcharitra provides a clear definition of a true devotee that goes beyond mere rituals. The text emphasizes that the most crucial quality is a complete lack of ego. A person who has "complete pride in his body" or the "arrogance of knowledge" does not deserve the title of a devotee. True "Devotee-hood" belongs to the one who is "completely devoid of ego." The chapter criticizes those who are an "abode of hypocrisy" and fail to sing the fame of their Guru with love. Therefore, according to this chapter, the foundation of devotion is humility and egolessness, not just the outward performance of religious acts.
