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