The ultimate prayer articulated in Chapter 50 is for unwavering devotion to Sai, which is considered a 'supreme attainment' far more valuable than liberation. The author explicitly states, 'The four types of liberation like Salokata—we have no desire for them. Let steady devotion to Sai be firmly attached.' The rationale provided in Chapter 50 for this preference is a profound spiritual perspective: 'We were never bound in the first place; what connection do we have with liberation?' The text suggests that the true goal is not to escape a perceived bondage but to achieve a pure heart through the 'awakening of devotion to the Saint.'
