According to the text, what role does divine inspiration play in the creation of sacred biographies like the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 2

The text presents divine inspiration as the primary force behind the creation of the Satcharitra. The author, despite feeling 'dull-witted and ignorant,' believes the inspiration to write was ignited by Sai Baba himself. Chapter 2 explains that the devotee is merely a pretext or instrument, and it is the Saints who get their own stories written. The author explicitly states, 'Sai himself is getting his life story written through an ignorant person like me.' This concept is supported by historical examples like Mahipati and Das Ganu, who were similarly inspired to write the lives of saints. The belief is that the Saint holds the author's hand, guiding the work and ensuring its completion.
