The source material addresses this seeming contradiction by framing the human author's role as that of a vessel. In Chapter 2, Sai Baba is quoted as saying the author is "merely a pretext." The divine promise is, "I myself shall write my own story and fulfill the devotee's wish." The condition for this divine intervention is that the author must completely surrender his ego at Sai's feet. The text explains that once the ego is dissolved without a trace, Sai himself will "enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand." Therefore, the work is presented as a divine autobiography channeled through a surrendered individual.
The text claims Sai Baba said, "I myself shall write my own story!" yet it's being written by an author. How does the source explain this apparent contradiction?
