Chapter 50 presents a profound perspective on the devotee's ultimate goal, prioritizing devotion over conventional liberation. The text explicitly states, 'The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them.' Instead of seeking liberation, which might imply an escape from bondage, the author declares that the 'supreme attainment' is to have 'steady devotion to Sai' be firmly attached to the heart. Chapter 50 further clarifies this by stating, 'We were never bound in the first place; what connection do we have with liberation?' The true aim, therefore, is the awakening of devotion to the Saint, as this is the path that leads to a pure heart and is considered the highest achievement for a true devotee.
