What instructions and assurances did Sai Baba give the author about writing His stories?

Sai Baba provided both encouragement and specific instructions for the creation of His stories. As recorded in Chapter 2, upon seeing the author's sincere desire, Sai Baba gave His permission, stating, "A collection of stories, news, and experiences should indeed be made. Keep a record; it is good. My full help is with it." He clarified that the author was merely a pretext, and that He Himself would write the story. The key instruction was for the author to dissolve his ego and surrender at Baba's feet. In return for this, Baba promised full assistance, saying, "To one who acts thus in life, I give full assistance. Not just this story, but I shall serve in all ways in his home."
