According to Chapter 2, why did the author feel the need to write a new book about Sai Baba when other works already existed?

This is an excellent question that Chapter 2 directly addresses. The author acknowledges that other valuable works about Sai Baba already existed, such as Das Ganu's 'Bhakta-Lilamrut' and 'Santa-Kathamrut', as well as poems and stories by others. However, the author explains that Sai's life is like a "vast ocean, an infinite mine of jewels," and it is impossible for any single work to describe it completely. As mentioned in the chapter, he compares himself to a small Titwi bird trying to empty the ocean, illustrating the impossibility of the task. Therefore, the purpose of this new text is not to be exhaustive but to find satisfaction in sharing what can be told, offering devotees more stories that provide peace, enthusiasm, and steadiness of mind.
