What is the difference between genuine devotion and superficial worship according to chapter 45?

📖 Chapter 45

According to chapter 45, genuine devotion to Sai involves the engagement of all senses, making it a holistic state of worship. This is contrasted with superficial acts, which are described as merely looking at an idol with the eyes while the mind and other senses are distracted. The text provides examples of this divided attention, such as hearing Sai's praise while the tongue is preoccupied with the taste of mangoes, or touching Sai's feet while still desiring the comfort of soft beds. A true Sai-devotee is defined as someone who cannot bear to be separated from Sai for even a moment and knows how to be detached from the world.
