Can you explain the concept of total surrender to Sai Baba as depicted in the prayers from Chapter 26?

The prayers in Chapter 26 provide a profound example of total surrender. The devotee asks Sai Baba to completely take over their existence by removing their body-consciousness and ego, or "me-ness." The plea is to be moved like a puppet according to Baba's will, with a mind that is restrained and finds peace only at His feet. This surrender is so complete that the devotee asks Baba to take on the experience of pleasure and pain Himself, freeing the devotee from any worry about them. As Chapter 26 beautifully articulates, this act of laying one's ego at the Guru's feet signifies a transition where the devotee declares, "from now on, You look after Your own—there is no 'me-ness' left in me."
