Can you explain the origin and purpose of the book of Sai's stories?

The book of Sai Baba's stories originated from his direct instruction and divine will. In Chapter 2, it's explained that Sai Baba felt compassion for the author's desire to write and granted him permission, promising his "full help." The primary purpose, as stated by Sai, is for the collection of stories to be a "resting place for the soul." By engaging with these narratives, devotion is meant to arise, ignorance is destroyed, and faith is born in the heart, leading to self-bliss. The author, Hemadpant, is presented as merely a pretext, as Sai himself declared, "I myself shall write my own story!"
