Describe the relationship between ego and the act of writing as explained by Sai Baba.

According to the guidance given by Sai Baba in Chapter 2, the relationship between ego and the act of writing his story is one of complete opposition. Sai Baba's condition for assisting was that the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it at His feet. He stated, "When the ego is dissolved, no trace of it remains. Then I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand." This illustrates that the author's personal ego was an obstacle. Only by becoming a 'pretext'—a vessel without ego—could the author allow the divine 'I-ness' of Sai Baba to take over and write the story Himself, ensuring its truth and power.
