What was Sai Baba's perspective on the creation of his life stories and what role did he say the author would play?

Sai Baba expressed that a collection of his stories and experiences should indeed be made, promising his full assistance. As recorded in Chapter 2, he stated, "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" Baba's condition was that the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it at his feet. In return, Baba promised to give full assistance, not just for the story, but in all aspects of the devotee's life. He explained that when the ego is gone, "I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand," making the author simply an instrument for a divine task.
