It is to annihilate oneself ie to regard oneself as totally worthless and inferior to all.
Annihilation of the Nafs (base-desires) helps cure spiritual maladies like pride, jealousy, enmity, greed and malice etc.
When one thinks nothing of oneself and is humbled, the heart becomes attached to ALLAH Rabbul Izzat.
