What is the ultimate goal expressed by the author in Chapter 50? Is it liberation?

In Chapter 50, the author, Hemadpant, makes a very specific prayer that reveals the ultimate goal of a devotee. He explicitly states a lack of desire for the four types of liberation, such as Salokata. Instead, the supreme attainment sought is steady and firm devotion to Sai. The chapter puts forth the idea that since "we were never bound in the first place," liberation is not the primary concern. The true goal is to awaken devotion to the Saint, as this act alone is what purifies the heart and constitutes the highest spiritual achievement for the devotee.
