How does the dissolution of one's ego relate to receiving divine assistance and experiencing true devotion, according to Sai Baba's words?

Chapter 2 establishes a direct link between surrendering the ego and opening oneself to divine grace. Sai Baba's core instruction is that the devotee "should dissolve his ego and surrender it at my feet." This act of surrender is the key that unlocks divine intervention, as Baba promises, "To one who acts thus in life, I give full assistance." When the ego is completely dissolved, Baba himself takes over the devotee's actions. This state of egolessness is synonymous with pure devotion, as the text also states, "Where there is devotion with faith, I am always subservient." Therefore, letting go of the self is presented as the essential prerequisite for both receiving Baba's help and making the otherwise unattainable divine accessible.
