What instructions and assurances did Sai Baba give to the author regarding the writing of his life story?

When the author, V.R. Rao, expressed a desire to compile a collection of stories, Sai Baba not only gave his permission but also provided profound guidance. According to Chapter 2, Baba stated that the author was merely a pretext and that He, Sai, would write His own story through him. The primary condition for this divine assistance was that the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it completely at Baba's feet. Sai promised, "To one who acts thus in life, I give full assistance." He assured the author that hearing, contemplating, and writing these stories would be a resting place for the soul, leading to devotion and the destruction of ignorance for all who engaged with the work.
