What is the primary prayer and request made to Sai Baba by the author in Chapter 26?

The primary prayer in Chapter 26 is a heartfelt plea for spiritual guidance and experiential knowledge. The author asks Sai Baba to make their intellect turn inward, to grant the ability to discriminate between the eternal and the temporary, and to foster detachment. Acknowledging their own ignorance, the author prays for unshakeable faith in the Guru's words. The core of the request, as stated in Chapter 26, is for this spiritual knowledge to become a personal, lived experience, as mere 'exhaustion of speech achieves nothing in spirituality.' The devotee ultimately asks for the gift of 'Sayujya' (the natural state of union) through the Guru's grace, signifying a desire to merge completely with the divine.
