Chapter 49 of the Satcharitra compares different spiritual practices. Which practice does it say is the most important for a devotee?

πŸ“– Chapter 49

Chapter 49 establishes a clear hierarchy of spiritual practices, identifying one as supreme. While acknowledging the value of traditional methods, the text states that penance is greater than pilgrimages, vows, sacrifices, or charity. It further states that singing Hari's name is greater than those practices. However, the chapter unequivocally declares that "the meditation on one's own Guru is the greatest of all." For followers of Sai Baba, this means that He alone should be the object of their focus. As the text puts it, "Sai alone is the object of meditation for His devotees; Sai alone is their worship of deities. Sai alone is their secret treasure."
