What did Sai Baba say about writing his life story? Was he just giving permission?

Sai Baba did more than just grant permission; he actively encouraged the author to create a collection of his stories and experiences. As detailed in Chapter 2, He promised his full help and made a profound statement: "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" This indicates that Baba intended to be the true author, working through the writer. He instructed the author to dissolve his ego and surrender it at His feet, promising that if he did so, Baba would not only assist with the story but also serve in all ways in his home. Baba's words were meant to provide courage and calm the author's impatient mind.
