What were Sai Baba's instructions and promises to the author regarding the writing of His life story?

Sai Baba gave His full permission and encouragement for a collection of His stories to be written. As detailed in Chapter 2, He provided courage to the author and stated that the author was merely a pretext, as Baba Himself would write His own story. The primary condition for this divine assistance was that the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it completely at Baba's feet. In return, Sai Baba promised not only His full help with the book but also to serve the author in all ways in his home. This process of hearing, reflecting, and writing would be accomplished by Baba, with the author acting as the chosen instrument.
