How did Sai Baba instruct the author to document his life story?

According to Chapter 2, when the author, Govindrao, prayed to write about Him, Sai Baba felt compassion and gave his full permission and support. Baba stated that a collection of stories and experiences should indeed be made and that He would provide his full help. In a profound statement, Baba revealed that the author was merely a pretext and that He, Baba, would write His own story to fulfill the devotee's wish. The primary condition was that the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it at Baba's feet, and in return, Baba promised to give full assistance and even serve in the author's home in all ways.
