What does the author of the Shri Sai Satcharitra identify as the ultimate spiritual goal, and how does it differ from traditional concepts of liberation?

Towards the end of Chapter 50, the author makes a powerful statement about spiritual priorities. Instead of seeking the four traditional types of liberation, such as Salokata, the author declares, "We have no desire for them." The supreme attainment, according to the text, is to have "steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached." The chapter posits that true purity of the heart comes not from a formal state of liberation but from the awakening of devotion to the Saint, suggesting that the relationship with the Guru is the end in itself.
