Based on Chapter 50, what is considered the "supreme attainment" for a devotee, and how does this relate to the concept of liberation?

📖 Chapter 50

Chapter 50 presents a unique perspective on the ultimate goal for a devotee, prioritizing devotion over traditional concepts of liberation. The text explicitly states, "The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them." Instead, the author declares that the "supreme attainment" is to have "steady devotion to Sai... firmly attached." This viewpoint reframes the spiritual quest. Rather than seeking freedom from bondage, the prayer is for a deep, unwavering connection to the Guru. The chapter rationalizes this by stating, "We were never bound in the first place; what connection do we have with liberation?" The true goal, as articulated in Chapter 50, is the "awakening of devotion to the Saint," because it is this devotion that purifies the heart and constitutes the highest achievement for a follower.
