Chapter 45 critiques incomplete devotion by providing vivid examples of a divided mind. It describes a state where one's eyes may be on Sai's idol, but their speech is locked, or their ears hear praise while their tongue craves worldly tastes. True devotion, in contrast, involves all the senses. The text poses a challenging question, asking how someone can be called a Sai-devotee if they are separated from Sai for even a moment or if they cannot detach from the world. Therefore, a true devotee is defined by constant remembrance and a mind that is not distracted by worldly attachments and desires.
