According to Chapter 6, what happens to a devotee's sense of self and ego when they connect with Sai Baba?

Chapter 6 explains that a deep connection with Sai Baba leads to a profound transformation of the devotee's consciousness. The text describes how the Sadguru awakens the sense of 'Soham' or 'I am He,' which fosters an innate bliss. As this realization dawns, He dissolves the devotee's sense of 'me and mine,' which is the root of the ego. Chapter 6 beautifully illustrates this by stating that Sai manifests the harmony of non-duality (Advaita) right there in the devotee's heart. This process of dissolving the ego is also described as the Guru's ability to burn away the subtle body into ashes with the mere touch of His hand, leading the devotee towards spiritual purity and liberation from self-centeredness.
