Chapter 49 clearly defines the qualities of a genuine devotee by contrasting them with undesirable traits. It asserts that anyone with complete pride in their body or arrogance of knowledge cannot be considered a devotee. True "Devotee-hood" is possessed only by one who is completely devoid of ego. The chapter states that one's only true wealth is love for the Guru's feet and a habit of seeking the company of saints. Conversely, it condemns those who are an "abode of hypocrisy" and the "unfortunate ones" who do not sing the fame of their Guru, calling them the personification of dull-wittedness.
