What is the relationship between the dissolution of ego and the creation of the sacred text, as explained by Sai Baba?

The relationship is presented as causal and essential for divine inspiration. According to the guidance from Sai Baba in Chapter 2, the author's ego is the primary obstacle to the true telling of the story. Baba's instruction is explicit: "He should dissolve his ego and surrender it at my feet." The promise that follows clarifies the dynamic: "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 shows that the author is not the true creator but a vessel, or "pretext." The act of writing is accomplished by the One to whom it belongs, only made possible by the author's complete surrender of self-importance.
