What does the text say about partial or divided devotion to the Guru?

📖 Chapter 45

Chapter 45 strongly advises against partial or insincere devotion, describing it as a state where one's senses are divided, making worship ineffective. For instance, it critiques merely "looking at the idol with the eyes while the speech remains locked" or hearing Sai’s praise while the tongue is "immersed in the sweet juice of mangoes." The text questions how someone can be called a Sai-devotee if they are separated from Sai for even a moment or if they don't know how to be detached from the world. True devotion requires the engagement of all senses with complete focus on the Guru.
