Chapter 49 provides a clear definition of a true devotee. It states that someone with complete pride in their body does not deserve the title of "Devotee"; true "Devotee-hood" belongs to the one who is completely devoid of ego. The text criticizes those who possess the arrogance of knowledge, pride of superiority, and hypocrisy. Furthermore, as this chapter describes, those who do not lovingly sing the fame of their Guru or listen to it are considered the "personification of dull-wittedness." Essentially, genuine devotion is characterized by humility and love for the Guru, not by ego or intellectual pride.
