What was Sai Baba's condition regarding the author's ego when giving permission to write his life story?

As detailed in Chapter 2, when Sai Baba granted permission to create a collection of his stories, he placed a significant condition concerning the author's ego. Baba stated, 'He should dissolve his ego and surrender it at my feet.' He emphasized that the author was 'merely a pretext' and that Baba himself would write his own story. The process required the author's ego to be so completely dissolved that no trace remained. Only then, Baba explained, 'I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand.' This highlights the principle that true divine work requires complete surrender and the absence of personal pride.
