As described in Chapter 45, true worship of Sai involves devotion with all the senses, not just a hollow physical act. The text strongly critiques superficial devotion, describing it as "merely looking at the idol with the eyes while the speech remains locked." It provides examples of this divided attention, such as hearing Sai’s praise while the tongue is immersed in the sweet juice of mangoes, or touching Sai’s feet while still desiring the comfort of soft beds. True devotion requires complete focus and detachment from worldly distractions. A true devotee is defined as one who cannot stand to be separated from Sai even for a moment and understands how to be detached from the world.
