How does Chapter 50 articulate the ultimate goal of a devotee, and how does this perspective differ from traditional ideas of liberation?

Chapter 50 presents a unique perspective on the devotee's ultimate goal, prioritizing devotion over traditional concepts of liberation. The text explicitly states, "The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them." Instead, the supreme attainment for the devotee is to have "steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached." Chapter 50 argues that since we were "never bound in the first place," the question of liberation is moot. The true aim, as described in this chapter, is the "awakening of devotion to the Saint," because it is this devotion alone that purifies the heart and leads to the highest state of being.
