How does the text describe the ideal form of devotion to a Guru like Sai?

📖 Chapter 45

According to Chapter 45, the ideal form of devotion to Sai must engage all the senses and be unwavering. The text criticizes superficial worship, where one might look at an idol but have their mind elsewhere, or touch the Guru's feet while still desiring worldly comforts like soft beds. True devotion is characterized by a state where a devotee cannot stand to be separated from Sai for even a moment. This requires genuine detachment from the world, as the text asks, "how can he be called attached to His feet if he knows not how to be detached from the world?" Therefore, ideal devotion is an all-encompassing state of being, not a partitioned activity.
