What is the ultimate prayer or desire expressed by the author in Chapter 50, and what does it reveal about the nature of devotion?

📖 Chapter 50

The concluding prayer in the provided excerpts of Chapter 50 reveals a profound aspect of devotion. The author, Hemad, explicitly states a lack of desire for the four types of liberation, such as Salokata. Instead, the supreme attainment sought is "steady devotion to Sai." The text poignantly asks, "We were never bound in the first place; what connection do we have with liberation?" This perspective prioritizes the awakening of devotion over the goal of liberation itself, suggesting that pure devotion to the Saint is the true path to purity of heart. It frames the relationship with the Guru not as a means to an end but as the ultimate end in itself.
