Chapter 45 describes true devotion to Sai as a complete immersion of all senses, which is the genuine state of worship. It contrasts this with superficial devotion, providing vivid examples. Merely looking at an idol while the mind is elsewhere is not true worship. The text critiques a devotee whose ears hear Sai’s praise while their tongue is preoccupied with the taste of mangoes, or one who touches Sai’s feet but cannot give up the desire for soft beds. True devotion means being so attached to Sai that being separated for even a moment is unthinkable and requires detachment from worldly desires.
