Chapter 46 seems to place devotion to the Guru above all else, even liberation. Can you elaborate on this based on the text?

📖 Chapter 46

You have pointed out a profound concept from Chapter 46 of the Sai Satcharitra. The chapter indeed elevates loving devotion to the Guru to a supreme position. It states that for a devotee who performs this devotion with heart and soul, Peace, Detachment, and Fame remain under their control. The text makes a powerful claim that before such profound devotion, "the state of Brahman-realization serves like a maid-servant" and that "no one asks for liberation." As Chapter 46 explains, this implies that the state of being completely absorbed in devotion to Sai is so blissful and fulfilling that it transcends the traditional spiritual goals of attaining liberation (moksha) or Brahman-realization, which are often seen as the ultimate aim.
