According to the text, what was Sai Baba's direct role in the creation of his life story?

In Chapter 2, Sai Baba explains that the author is merely a pretext for the work. He states, "I myself shall write my own story!" and promises his full help. Baba's condition for this divine assistance is that the devotee must dissolve their ego and surrender it at his feet. When this happens, Baba says he himself will enter with 'I-ness' and write with his own hand. Therefore, any work of hearing, reflecting, or writing the stories is ultimately accomplished by Sai Baba, with the human author serving as an instrument for his will.
