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