How did the collection of Sai Baba's stories and experiences come into being?

The collection of Sai Baba's stories came into being through His direct command and compassionate encouragement. As detailed in Chapter 2, Sai Baba responded to a devotee's prayer by granting permission, stating, "A collection of stories, news, and experiences should indeed be made. Keep a record; it is good. My full help is with it." He further clarified that the author was merely a pretext, and He Himself would be the one to write His own story to fulfill the devotee's wish. This divine sanction was contingent on the author dissolving his ego and surrendering completely at Baba's feet, a process through which Baba promised to provide full assistance.
