Why was the author of the Sai Leela book initially resistant to writing it, and what did Sai Baba do to convince him?

The provided text does not suggest that the author was resistant to writing the book. Instead, Chapter 2 emphasizes Sai Baba's compassionate encouragement as the catalyst for the project. To calm the author's mind, Baba provided courage and granted permission, stating, "A collection of stories, news, and experiences should indeed be made. Keep a record; it is good. My full help is with it." Baba promised to write the story himself, using the author as a mere pretext, on the condition that the author dissolve his ego. This divine assurance was the primary motivation for the work to begin, rather than an effort to overcome any stated resistance.
