I'm trying to practice surrender. What guidance does Chapter 26 offer on letting go of the ego and body-consciousness?

📖 Chapter 26

Chapter 26 provides a powerful model for complete surrender. The devotee makes a plea to Sai Baba, laying their ego at His feet and declaring, "from now on, You look after Your own—there is no 'me-ness' left in me." The guidance in this chapter involves asking the Guru to take away body-consciousness and the attachment to pleasure or pain. It goes further, suggesting a prayer where you ask to be moved like a puppet according to the Guru's will. The ultimate surrender is encapsulated in the request, "let You Yourself become my 'me-ness'; take the experience of pleasure and pain Yourself, and let me not worry about them."
