In the concluding sections of Chapter 50, what is Hemadpant's ultimate prayer, and how does it relate to the concept of liberation?

πŸ“– Chapter 50

In Chapter 50, Hemadpant makes a profound statement about his spiritual aspirations. He explicitly declares that he and other devotees have no desire for the four traditional types of liberation, such as Salokata. Instead, his supreme goal and prayer is to have "steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached." He questions the need for liberation by stating, "We were never bound in the first place; what connection do we have with liberation?" For Hemadpant, the awakening of pure devotion to a Saint is the ultimate path, as it is by devotion alone that the heart becomes pure, making the bond with the Guru more desirable than the abstract goal of liberation.
