How did Sai Baba conceptualize the author's role in writing his biography, and what was the condition for receiving his full support?

Sai Baba conceptualized the author's role as being "merely a pretext" for a divine act of autobiography, as revealed in Chapter 2. He declared, "I myself shall write my own story! I should tell my own story and fulfill the devotee's wish." The primary condition for receiving Baba's full assistance was the complete dissolution of the author's ego and its surrender at Baba's feet. Baba promised that for one who acts this way, "I give full assistance," and even more profoundly, "When the ego is dissolved, no trace of it remains. Then I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand."
