What conditions did Sai Baba give the author for receiving his help in writing the stories?

Sai Baba laid out a crucial spiritual condition for the author to receive his complete assistance. According to Chapter 2, the primary requirement was for the author to completely dissolve his ego and surrender it at Baba's feet. Baba explained this principle by saying, "When the ego is dissolved, no trace of it remains. Then I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand." This act of surrender ensures that the work is accomplished by the divine will, with the human author serving only as a pretext or instrument for a higher purpose.
