What instructions did Sai Baba give regarding the writing of his life story, and what was the author's required role?

Sai Baba provided direct encouragement and a clear mandate for his story to be written. According to Chapter 2, Baba stated, "A collection of stories, news, and experiences should indeed be made. Keep a record; it is good. My full help is with it." However, he clarified that the human author was "merely a pretext." The true author would be Baba himself, who declared, "I myself shall write my own story!" The author's primary role was to facilitate this by dissolving his ego and surrendering it at Baba's feet. For one who acts this way, Baba promised not just assistance with the story, but to "serve in all ways in his home."
