What does Chapter 50 teach about the value and benefits of associating with Saints?

Chapter 50 highly praises the value of 'Satsang,' or the company of righteous Saints. The text suggests that obtaining the vision of a Saint is a rare privilege, not possible without the merit of penance from previous lives. As explained in chunk 2 of Chapter 50, for anyone who desires liberation or their own true welfare, the path is to become an 'instrument of the Saints,' which ensures they will lack nothing. The primary benefits of such association are clearly stated: from the company of the righteous comes the cultivation of discrimination (viveka) and detachment (vairagya), leading to 'supreme peace for the true devotees.'
