Based on Chapter 49, what are the characteristics of a true devotee versus someone who is not?

📖 Chapter 49

According to the teachings in Chapter 49, the defining characteristic of a true devotee is a complete lack of ego. The text states that one who has complete pride in their body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee,' and that true 'Devotee-hood' belongs to the one who is completely devoid of ego. Conversely, the chapter criticizes those who have the arrogance of knowledge, the pride of superiority, and are an 'abode of hypocrisy.' It also describes those who do not sing the praises of their Guru as the 'personification of dull-wittedness,' reinforcing that true devotion is humble and expressive of love for the Guru.
