Chapter 50 makes a clear statement about the ultimate goal for a devotee. The author, speaking on behalf of devotees, explicitly rejects the desire for the 'four types of liberation like Salokata.' Instead, the text declares that the 'supreme attainment' is to have 'steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached' to one's heart. It further clarifies this by stating that devotees were never truly bound, so the concept of liberation is secondary. The primary goal is the awakening of devotion to the Saint, because it is by this devotion alone that the heart becomes truly pure.
