From the author's perspective in Chapter 50, what is the ultimate spiritual attainment, and how does it compare to the goal of liberation?

In a powerful declaration within Chapter 50, the author expresses a preference that might seem counterintuitive to many spiritual seekers. The text states, 'The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them.' Instead of liberation (mukti), the author prays for 'steady devotion to Sai' to be firmly attached, calling this 'our supreme attainment.' The reasoning provided is a radical re-framing: 'We were never bound in the first place; what connection do we have with liberation?' Therefore, the ultimate goal is not freedom from bondage, but the awakening of pure devotion, which alone purifies the heart.
