What does the text say about half-hearted or distracted devotion to Sai?

📖 Chapter 45

The text strongly criticizes distracted devotion, describing it as a state where one's senses are not fully engaged in worship. Chapter 45 gives vivid examples, such as looking at an idol with the eyes while the speech is locked, hearing Sai's praise while the tongue is preoccupied with the taste of mangoes, or touching Sai's feet while still desiring soft beds. It questions how someone can be called a true Sai-devotee if they can be separated from Sai for even a moment or if they don't know how to be detached from the world. This kind of divided attention is seen as a significant spiritual downfall.
