How did Sai Baba describe his own role in the writing of his life story?

According to the narrative in Chapter 2, Sai Baba expressed a profound and direct involvement in the creation of his own story. He conveyed to the author that a collection of his stories should be made and that his full help was with the project. Baba stated, "I myself shall write my own story!" He explained that the author was "merely a pretext" and that for Baba to write through him, the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it at Baba's feet. Once the ego is gone, Baba promised he would "enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand," offering full assistance to one who acts this way.
