Chapter 49 provides a clear distinction between a true devotee and one who is not. It states that a person who has "complete pride in his body does not deserve the title of 'Devotee.'" True devotee-hood is possessed only by one who is completely devoid of ego. The chapter criticizes those with arrogance of knowledge, pride of superiority, and hypocrisy. Furthermore, it describes those unfortunate ones who do not lovingly sing or listen to the fame of their own Guru as the "personification of dull-wittedness," highlighting humility and love for the Guru as the essential traits of a real devotee.
