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

The author in Chapter 26 expresses profound devotion through a prayer of complete surrender. They ask Sai Baba to turn their intellect inward, grant discrimination between the eternal and temporary, and to take away their body-consciousness and ego. The text contains the plea, "I lay my ego at Your feet; from now on, You look after Your own." The author wishes to be moved like a puppet according to Baba's will and for their restless mind to find peace at His feet. This surrender extends to a form of internal worship, where the devotee offers the sandalwood paste of pure love and clothes Baba with true faith, which is described as superior to external rituals.
