What was Sai Baba's reaction when presented with the idea of creating a collection of his stories, and what instructions did He give?

According to the account in Chapter 2, when the proposal to compile his stories was made, Sai Baba felt compassion and moved to grant permission. He was highly encouraging, stating, "A collection of stories, news, and experiences should indeed be made. Keep a record; it is good. My full help is with it." He further explained that the author was merely a pretext and that He Himself would write His own story to fulfill the devotee's wish. The primary instruction He gave was for the author to dissolve his ego and surrender it at Sai's feet, promising that to one who acts this way, He would provide full assistance in all matters, not just the story.
