When did Sai Baba give the author instructions to write down his life story, and what did he say?

According to Chapter 2, after a prayer from the author, Sai Baba felt compassion and granted permission to create a collection of his stories and experiences. He offered his full help and gave a profound instruction, stating, "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" Baba explained that this would happen when the author dissolved his ego and surrendered it at his feet. He also advised the author to constantly remember these stories, whether at home or elsewhere, promising that this practice would serve as a resting place for the soul.
