True devotion to Sai involves the complete engagement of all senses in worship, not just empty rituals. As Chapter 45 explains, it is not true worship if your eyes are looking at Sai's idol while your tongue is thinking of the sweet juice of mangoes, or if you touch Sai's feet while still desiring worldly comforts like soft beds. A genuine Sai-devotee is described as someone for whom even a moment of separation from Sai is unbearable. This deep attachment to the Guru's feet is coupled with the wisdom of knowing how to be detached from the world and its distractions.
What does it mean to be a true devotee of Sai, and what distinguishes genuine worship from superficial acts?
