Chapter 2 reveals the author's belief that they are merely an instrument for a higher power. The text states, 'Saints or the Lord, holding anyone by the hand, Write their own story themselves, keeping their hand on the author's head.' This philosophy suggests divine inspiration is the true source of such biographies. The chapter connects this idea to historical precedents, noting that Mahipati was inspired in the year 1700 (Shaka) and Das Ganu was similarly guided to write his two books, 'Bhakta-Lilamrut' and 'Santa-Kathamrut,' in the year 1800 (Shaka). The author sees their own work in this same light, expressing the conviction that Baba himself is guiding the pen.
According to Chapter 2, what is the author's philosophy on writing about saints, and how does this connect to previous authors like Das Ganu?
