What specific boons does the author ask for from Sai Baba in Chapter 26 to aid his spiritual progress?

In a heartfelt prayer within Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra, the author asks Sai Baba for several specific boons to overcome spiritual obstacles. He prays for his intellect to be turned inward and to be endowed with the ability to discriminate between the eternal and the temporary. Recognizing his own ignorance, he asks for "unshakeable faith in the words of the Guru and Vedanta." A key request is for knowledge to be made meaningful through direct, personal experience, as mere words are not enough. He asks Baba to grant the gift of the "natural state of union (Sayujya)" and, to achieve this, offers his ego completely, asking Baba to remove his body-consciousness and guide his mind and actions entirely.
