How does Chapter 45 describe the proper way to practice devotion to Sai and the common pitfalls to avoid?

📖 Chapter 45

According to Chapter 45, the true state of worship involves devotion to Sai with all of one's senses. The text cautions against divided attention, which it describes as a significant pitfall. For example, it warns against merely looking at an idol with the eyes while the mind and speech are distracted, or hearing Sai's praise while the tongue is preoccupied with the taste of mangoes. Similarly, it mentions the hypocrisy of touching Sai's feet while being unable to give up the desire for worldly comforts like soft beds. The author posits that true devotion requires a mind detached from the world and a heart sparked with love for God, questioning how anyone separated from Sai for even a moment can be called a devotee.
