What was Sai Baba's directive regarding the documentation of his life, and what role did he claim in the process?

Sai Baba explicitly gave his permission and encouragement for his stories and experiences to be documented. As detailed in Chapter 2, he instructed the author to "Keep a record; it is good," and promised his full assistance. More profoundly, Baba stated that the author was merely a pretext, declaring, "I myself shall write my own story!" He explained that if a devotee dissolves their ego and surrenders completely at his feet, he himself enters with 'I-ness' and writes with his own hand, ensuring the work is accomplished by the divine will.
