Chapter 50 describes the "natural state," or "Sahaj-sthiti," as a state of non-dual devotion "where the pulse of 'I' and 'You' does not exist." This is presented as the supreme state to ask of Sai. The act of engaging with the Satcharitra is portrayed as a direct practice for achieving this. The text advises that when reading, one should perceive "the subject of reading, the act of reading, and the reader—...as one state." By maintaining humility, one-pointedness of mind, and perceiving Sai in one's heart, the reader can dissolve the illusion of separation. This allows all senses to become "Sai-form," leading to the realization of this non-dual state.
