What are the spiritual benefits of surrendering to Sai Baba and chanting his name, as detailed in Chapter 46?

According to Chapter 46, surrendering one's body, speech, and mind at Sai Baba's feet and constantly chanting His name is a powerful spiritual practice. This act is said to wash away sins and purify the mind by diminishing the qualities of 'Rajas' (passion) and 'Tamas' (ignorance), while gradually increasing 'Sattva' (purity). This leads to the awakening of a righteous disposition, which in turn brings about detachment from worldly subjects. Chapter 46 explains that this path ultimately leads to the manifestation of self-knowledge, a state of being focused on one's true self at the Guru's feet, which is called 'Gururpan' (offering to the Guru).
