How does Sai Baba's instruction to 'dissolve the ego' directly enable the writing of his life story?

The instruction to dissolve the ego is presented in Chapter 2 as the fundamental requirement for the author to undertake his work. Sai Baba makes it clear that his help is conditional upon this act of surrender: "He should dissolve his ego and surrender it at my feet. To one who acts thus in life, I give full assistance." By dissolving the ego, the author ceases to be an independent agent driven by personal ambition or intellectual pride and becomes a pure instrument, or "pretext." This emptying of the self allows for a divine influx. As Sai Baba promises, "When the ego is dissolved...I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand." Thus, dissolving the ego is not just a moral suggestion; it is the practical mechanism that enables the story to be written by Baba himself through the author.
