What conditions did Sai Baba set for the author to write His story, and what did He promise in return?

According to Chapter 2, when the author was given permission to compile a collection of stories, Sai Baba laid out a crucial condition. He stated, "He should dissolve his ego and surrender it at my feet." In return for this complete surrender, Baba made several profound promises. He assured the author of His "full help" and revealed that the author was merely a pretext, as Baba Himself would be writing His own story through him. Furthermore, Baba promised, "Not just this story, but I shall serve in all ways in his home." This illustrates that for one who dissolves their ego, Baba's assistance is total and all-encompassing, making the devotee a mere instrument for His will.
