Chapter 50 clarifies that the ultimate attainment for a devotee is not necessarily liberation (mukti) in its traditional forms. The text explicitly states, 'The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them.' Instead, the supreme goal expressed in the chapter is to have 'steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached.' This chapter posits that devotees were never truly bound in the first place, so the concept of liberation becomes secondary. The primary aspiration is the awakening of pure devotion to the Saint, as it is this devotion alone that purifies the heart and constitutes the highest achievement.
What does Chapter 50 reveal about the ultimate prayer or desire of a true devotee of Sai? Is it liberation?
