What kind of prayer is offered to Sai Baba in Chapter 26, and what are the main requests made by the devotee?

The prayer in Chapter 26 is a deep and heartfelt plea for inner transformation and complete surrender to the Sadguru. The primary requests are for an inward-turning intellect, the power of discrimination between what is eternal versus temporary, and a firm devotion to detachment. The devotee asks for unshakeable faith and, crucially, for the direct, personal experience of self-knowledge, not just a theoretical understanding. As Chapter 26 shows, the prayer culminates in the total surrender of the self, where the devotee lays their ego at Baba's feet, asks to be moved like a puppet by His will, and requests freedom from body-consciousness and the dualities of pleasure and pain.
