Chapter 50 of the Satcharitra presents a nuanced perspective on spiritual goals rather than a rejection of traditional concepts. The text states, "The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them." However, it immediately clarifies this by proposing a higher attainment: "Let steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached; this is our supreme attainment." The passage frames this choice by suggesting that since we were never truly bound, the concept of liberation is secondary to the immediate and transformative power of devotion. The primary focus is on awakening devotion to the Saint, as this is the path that purifies the heart and leads to a "natural state" of non-dual consciousness.
The book says devotees have 'no desire for' liberation like Salokata. Is the Satcharitra teaching against traditional Hindu goals?
