According to Chapter 49, what qualities distinguish a true devotee from someone who is not?

πŸ“– Chapter 49

Chapter 49 provides a clear distinction between a genuine devotee and one who is not. The chapter states that a person who has "complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee.'" True "Devotee-hood" belongs to the one who is "completely devoid of ego." The text criticizes those with arrogance of knowledge, pride of superiority, and hypocrisy. Furthermore, it describes those who do not lovingly sing the fame of their Guru as the "personification of dull-wittedness." The core qualities of a true devotee, as implied throughout the chapter, are humility, love for the Guru's feet, and a desire to share spiritual joy.
