Chapter 49 provides a clear distinction between a true devotee and one who is not. It explicitly states that a person who has complete pride in their body does not deserve the title of "Devotee." In contrast, the one who is completely devoid of ego is said to truly possess "Devotee-hood." The chapter is critical of those with the arrogance of knowledge and pride of superiority, calling them an "abode of hypocrisy." Furthermore, it describes those who do not lovingly sing the fame of their Guru as the "personification of dull-wittedness," emphasizing that true devotion is characterized by humility and expressive love for the Guru.
