How was Sai Baba involved in the creation of his life story, and what was the author's intended role?

Sai Baba expressed that he himself would write his own story to fulfill the devotee's wish. As detailed in Chapter 2, he instructed the author, whom he considered merely a pretext, to dissolve his ego and surrender it at Baba's feet. Baba promised his full help and assistance, stating that when the ego is completely dissolved, he himself would enter with 'I-ness' and write with his own hand. The author's role was simply to keep a record of the stories, news, and experiences, understanding that the work truly belonged to and was accomplished by Sai Baba.
