Why did Sai Baba want his stories to be written, and what role did he say he would play in their creation?

Sai Baba, feeling compassion for the author's sincere desire, granted permission to create a collection of his stories and experiences. As detailed in Chapter 2, Baba stated that the author was merely a pretext and that He Himself would write His own story to fulfill the devotee's wish. He promised his full help, contingent on the author dissolving his ego and surrendering at Baba's feet. In such a state, Baba explained, He would enter with 'I-ness' and write with His own hand, accomplishing the work through the author as an instrument.
