What instructions did Sai Baba give the author about writing His life story, and what was the main condition for receiving His help?

Sai Baba provided very clear guidance for the creation of his biography, as detailed in the source texts. According to Chapter 2, He encouraged the author to compile a collection of stories and experiences, promising his complete assistance. Baba famously stated, "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" The primary condition for this divine intervention was the author's absolute surrender of his ego. Baba explained that the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it at His feet. For one who acts this way, Baba promised not only to help with the story but to serve them in all ways, emphasizing that when the ego is gone, He himself would enter and write with His own hand.
