Instead of liberation, what does the author in Chapter 50 pray for as the 'supreme attainment' for a devotee?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 50

Chapter 50 presents a unique perspective on the ultimate goal for a devotee. The author explicitly states a disinterest in the four traditional types of liberation, such as Salokata. Instead of seeking liberation from the cycle of birth and death, the prayer is for a different, more heartfelt attainment. The text declares, 'Let steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached; this is our supreme attainment.' This indicates that the highest achievement is not freedom from bondage but a constant, unwavering state of devotion to the Saint. The rationale given is that this devotion itself purifies the heart, which is considered the true goal.
