What does Chapter 26 teach about the practice of surrender to Sai Baba?

Chapter 26 beautifully illustrates the path of complete surrender through a personal prayer. The author resolves to lay his ego at Sai Baba's feet, declaring, 'from now on, You look after Your own—there is no "me-ness" left in me.' This surrender is so total that he asks Baba to take away his body-consciousness and move him like a puppet according to His will. He even requests that Baba Himself take on the experiences of pleasure and pain, so that the devotee's mind can remain peaceful and fixed solely on the Guru's feet. This passage emphasizes that true surrender involves relinquishing personal will and worry, trusting the Guru completely.
