What was Sai Baba's specific instruction to the author about writing his life story?

Sai Baba provided very specific instructions and profound encouragement for the writing of his life story. As detailed in Chapter 2, Baba told the author, "A collection of stories, news, and experiences should indeed be made. Keep a record; it is good. My full help is with it." More than just granting permission, Baba revealed the spiritual dynamic at play, stating, "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" This divine help was conditional on the author's complete surrender and dissolution of his ego. Baba promised that if the author surrendered his ego at Baba's feet, Baba would not only provide full assistance with the story but would also serve the author in all ways in his home.
