Is liberation from the cycle of birth and death not a primary goal according to this text? It seems to dismiss it.

Indeed, Chapter 50 presents a unique perspective on liberation. The text explicitly states, "The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them." The reasoning provided is that "We were never bound in the first place; what connection do we have with liberation?" Instead of seeking liberation, the text elevates devotion as the highest aim. As written in Chapter 50, the supreme attainment is to have "steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached." The focus is on awakening this devotion, because "by that alone the heart becomes pure," which is considered a more immediate and essential goal than a conceptual liberation.
