What was Sai Baba's specific instruction regarding the author's ego and his role in writing the book?

Sai Baba's instructions were very clear about the author's role and the necessity of humility. As recorded in Chapter 2, He commanded the author to dissolve his ego and surrender it at His feet. Sai Baba emphasized that the author was "merely a pretext" and that the true author would be Baba Himself. He explained this divine process by saying, "When the ego is dissolved, no trace of it remains. Then I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand." This highlights that the work was to be an act of complete surrender, where the human author becomes a pure instrument for the divine will.
