What's the difference between genuine devotion to Sai and just going through the motions of worship?

📖 Chapter 45

According to chapter 45, genuine devotion to Sai involves engaging all one's senses in worship and developing detachment from worldly desires. A true devotee is someone who feels pained if separated from Sai for even a moment. In contrast, superficial worship is characterized by a divided mind. The text gives examples like looking at an idol with your eyes while your speech is locked, hearing Sai's praise while your tongue is preoccupied with the taste of mangoes, or touching Sai's feet while still desiring the comfort of soft beds. This lack of singular focus and the inability to detach from the world is what distinguishes hollow worship from the true state of devotion.
