How can a devotee experience Sai's grace and attain liberation according to Chapter 48?

Chapter 48 outlines a clear path for a devotee to experience Sai's grace and attain liberation. The process begins with cultivating a mind of theism and a state of unwavering faith, which is likened to the lamp-dish of the devotee's heart. As described in this chapter, this lamp must be lit with the wick of devotion using the oil of uninterrupted love, which in turn manifests the flame of true knowledge. The chapter also stresses the importance of listening to the Sai Satcharitra with a pure heart, respect, and good faith, followed by deep reflection (Manan). By serving Sai’s feet with this devotional spirit, the senses are controlled and the bonds of Karma are broken, making the crossing of the ocean of existence certain.
