Chapter 6 mentions that the Sadguru's touch can burn away the 'subtle body (ego)'. Can you elaborate on this concept using only the information provided in the chapter?

📖 Chapter 6

According to Chapter 6, the touch of the Guru's hand possesses a wondrous and unique power. The text states that this touch can burn the 'subtle body (ego)' into ashes, a feat that even the cataclysmic 'fire of dissolution' cannot accomplish. This illustrates the ego as a deeply ingrained obstacle to spiritual progress. By eliminating this sense of 'me and mine,' the Sadguru clears the path for spiritual realization. The chapter connects this act directly to the manifestation of Advaita, or non-duality, showing that the destruction of the ego is the key to awakening the sense of 'I am He' (Soham) and experiencing innate bliss.
