How did Sai Baba instruct the author to go about writing his life story?

Sai Baba gave his full blessing and help for the author to create a collection of his stories and experiences. Baba instructed him to keep a record, stating, "I myself shall write my own story!" The condition for this divine assistance was for the author to dissolve his ego and surrender it completely at Baba's feet. As detailed in Chapter 2, Baba promised that for one who acts this way, he would provide full assistance, not just for the story but in all aspects of life. The process of hearing, reflecting, and writing would be accomplished by Baba himself, with the author merely being a pretext.
