How does the author express their complete surrender and devotion to Sai Baba in Chapter 26?

In Chapter 26, the author expresses profound devotion through a prayer of total surrender to Sai Baba. The devotee asks Baba to turn their intellect inward, grant discrimination between the eternal and temporary, and instill detachment. This plea for surrender is powerfully captured when the author says, "Take away my body-consciousness; I do not need the knowledge of pleasure or pain. Move me according to Your will like a puppet, and restrain my mind." This chapter highlights the desire to dissolve the ego by laying it at Baba's feet, asking Him to look after the devotee as His own, thereby signifying a complete removal of "me-ness."
