How does Chapter 26 illustrate the concept of complete surrender to the Guru?

Chapter 26 powerfully illustrates the principle of absolute surrender to the Sadguru. The narrator makes a declaration of surrendering their ego completely at Sai Baba's feet, stating, "from now on, You look after Your own—there is no 'me-ness' left in me." This surrender extends to body-consciousness, with the narrator asking Baba to take away the awareness of pleasure and pain and to move them like a puppet according to His will. The plea goes even further, as described in this chapter, asking Sai to become the narrator's very "me-ness" and to experience life's dualities on their behalf, showcasing a total relinquishment of personal will.
