What is the difference between true devotion to Sai and just going through the motions, according to this chapter?

πŸ“– Chapter 45

According to Chapter 45, true devotion to Sai involves engaging all of one's senses in a state of complete worship, whereas superficial devotion is characterized by distraction. The text gives several examples of this distracted worship: merely looking at an idol with the eyes while the speech remains locked, hearing Sai's praise while the tongue is mentally tasting sweet mangoes, or touching Sai's feet while still desiring the comfort of soft beds. Chapter 45 posits that a true Sai-devotee is one who cannot bear to be separated from Sai for even a moment and who knows how to be detached from the world. True devotion is a constant, focused state of love, not a part-time activity.
