What was Sai Baba's role in the creation of his life story, and what instructions did He give to the author?

According to Chapter 2, Sai Baba played a direct and profound role in the creation of his life story. When the author expressed a desire to compile a collection of stories, Sai Baba granted permission and promised His full help. He stated, "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" This indicates that Baba saw Himself as the true author, using the writer as an instrument. The primary instruction He gave was for the author to dissolve his ego and surrender it at Baba's feet. For one who does this, Baba promised not only full assistance with the book but also to serve in all ways in the devotee's home, emphasizing that when the ego is gone, He Himself enters and writes with His own hand.
