How did the book of Sai Baba's stories come to be written, and what was Sai Baba's specific role in its creation?

The book of Sai Baba's stories was initiated through the author's sincere desire, to which Sai Baba felt compassion and gave his full support. As detailed in Chapter 2, Sai Baba's role was not merely one of permission but of direct authorship. He famously stated, "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" This reveals that He considered the human author an instrument for His own work. Baba promised his complete assistance on the condition that the author dissolve his ego and surrender at His feet, assuring that when the ego vanishes, "I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand."
