What is the connection between devotion to Sai and detachment from the world?

As detailed in Chapter 45, deep devotion to Sai and detachment from the world are two sides of the same coin. The text directly questions how someone can be considered attached to Sai's feet if they do not know how to be detached from the world. It suggests that if a person has the great fortune to be born in the time of an incarnation like Sai and still fails to develop detachment from worldly things and love for God, it is a great downfall. The ideal state is one where a devotee cannot bear to be separated from Sai for even a moment, a focus that naturally requires letting go of worldly attachments and desires.
