What defines a true devotee of Sai, and what is the great 'downfall' mentioned in the text?

Chapter 45 defines a true Sai-devotee as someone who cannot bear to be separated from Sai for even a moment and who understands how to be detached from the world. The text poses a sharp, rhetorical question to highlight the importance of this devotion. It considers it a great fortune to be born during the time of Sai's incarnation and to have had his company. Therefore, the text asks, what greater 'downfall' could there be than to have this rare opportunity and yet fail to develop detachment from the world and spark a genuine love for God? This implies that failing to cultivate devotion despite being given the chance is a profound spiritual tragedy.
