According to the teachings in Chapter 49, what qualities define a true devotee versus someone who is not?

📖 Chapter 49

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 his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee.'" Conversely, true "Devotee-hood" is possessed by the one who is "completely devoid of ego." The chapter further criticizes those who have an arrogance of knowledge, a pride of superiority, or are an "abode of hypocrisy," stating they have no real prestige. This highlights that humility and the surrender of ego are the essential hallmarks of a genuine devotee of the Sadguru.
