According to Chapter 50, why is devotion to Sai considered a higher goal than the four traditional types of liberation?

Chapter 50 presents a unique spiritual perspective by prioritizing devotion over the traditional goal of liberation. The text explicitly states, "The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them." The supreme attainment, according to the author, is to have "steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached." The chapter offers a radical justification for this view, suggesting that liberation is irrelevant because "we were never bound in the first place." Therefore, as articulated in Chapter 50, the true purpose of spiritual life is not to seek freedom from a non-existent bondage but to achieve the "awakening of devotion to the Saint," because it is this devotion alone that leads to the purification of the heart.
