I feel like my worship is just going through the motions. What does this chapter say about the difference between true devotion and just looking at an idol?

According to Chapter 45, true devotion involves engaging all of your senses and cultivating detachment from worldly distractions. It is not enough to simply look at an idol with your eyes if your mind and other senses are elsewhere. The text gives examples of this divided attention, such as hearing Sai's praise while the tongue is preoccupied with the taste of mangoes, or touching Sai's feet while still desiring the comfort of soft beds. True worship requires sparking a genuine love for God and detaching the mind from the world, as being separated from Sai for even a moment calls into question one's status as a devotee.
