How did Sai Baba instruct the author to write His stories, and what was the author's designated role in the process?

Sai Baba provided very specific instructions and profound encouragement for the creation of His life story. As mentioned in Chapter 2, He conveyed that the author was merely a pretext and that He Himself would write His own story through him. The primary condition for this divine assistance was for the author to completely dissolve his ego and surrender it at Baba's feet. Sai promised that for one who acts this way, He gives full assistance, not just for the story but in all aspects of life. Baba explained that when the ego is gone, He enters with His 'I-ness' and writes with His own hand, making the author an instrument for a work that truly belongs to the Divine.
