Chapter 26 details a profound and total form of surrender to the Guru, Sai Baba. The devotee makes a prayer to lay their ego at Baba's feet, declaring that no 'me-ness' is left in them. They ask Baba to take away their body-consciousness and the need to experience pleasure or pain. The prayer includes a powerful request to be moved according to Baba's will, like a puppet controlled by a puppeteer. Going even further, the devotee asks Baba to Himself become their 'me-ness' and take on the experience of pleasure and pain for them. This illustrates a complete relinquishment of personal identity and will, seeking to find peace for the restless mind solely at the Guru's feet.
I'm interested in the idea of surrendering to Sai Baba. What kind of total surrender is described in the prayer in Chapter 26?
