What were Sai Baba's instructions to the author about compiling his life story, and what role did Baba say he would play in the process?

Sai Baba expressed his compassion and gave full permission for a collection of his stories and experiences to be made. As recorded in Chapter 2, He instructed the author to keep a record, promising his complete help. Baba clarified that the author was merely a pretext, stating, "I myself shall write my own story!" The primary condition was that the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it at Baba's feet. If this was done, Baba promised to enter with 'I-ness' and write with his own hand, providing full assistance not just for the book, but in all aspects of the devotee's life.
