According to the wisdom in Chapter 37, a community of devotees should not prioritize the attainment of heaven, which is described as a transient place for sensual enjoyment from which one falls after their merit is exhausted. The text questions the use of any place, even heaven, that lacks the remembrance of God and the stories of the Guru. Instead, the focus should be on realizing a divine state here on earth. This involves overcoming what the chapter calls the 'nooses of death'—unrighteousness, ignorance, anger, and hatred. The true goal is to see the divine principle in all things and offer every action to God, which leads to a state of fearlessness.
Instead of focusing on attaining heaven, what should a community of Sai devotees prioritize according to his teachings?
