According to Chapter 45, true devotion to Sai is an all-encompassing state of worship involving all the senses, not just a superficial act. The text cautions against hollow rituals by giving examples of a divided mind: looking at Sai's idol while the tongue is preoccupied with the sweet juice of mangoes, or touching Sai's feet while the mind still desires the comfort of soft beds. It posits that a true Sai-devotee is one who cannot bear to be separated from Sai even for a moment and has learned detachment from the world. Anything less is considered a form of spiritual downfall.
