Chapter 26 offers a powerful model for surrender. The devotee makes a profound plea to Sai Baba, stating, "O God Sadguru Sai, I lay my ego at Your feet; from now on, You look after Your own—there is no 'me-ness' left in me." This act of surrender is further detailed with requests to take away body-consciousness and the need to experience pleasure or pain. The chapter suggests asking the Guru to move you according to His will, like a puppet, and to restrain the mind. It even proposes, "let You Yourself become my 'me-ness'; take the experience of pleasure and pain Yourself," showing a complete abdication of personal agency to the Guru's grace.
