Chapter 2 presents a consistent theme of divine inspiration in the creation of sacred biographies. The author states that saints or the Lord hold the author's hand and write their own stories, keeping their hand on the author's head. He is merely a pen guided by Baba. This is directly compared to historical precedents mentioned in the chapter, where Mahipati was inspired in the year 1700 (Shaka) and Das Ganu in the year 1800 (Shaka) to write the lives of saints. The author sees himself as an "ignorant person" through whom the story is written, just as the saints took service from Mahipati and Das Ganu for their works.
Can you describe the analogy used in Chapter 2 to explain the author's role in writing about Sai's life, and how does it relate to previous writers like Mahipati and Das Ganu?
