Can you explain the author's personal reflection on writing the Satcharitra found in Chapter 30? It seems like he feels he's not the real author.

📖 Chapter 30

In Chapter 30, the author, Hemadpant, expresses profound humility regarding his role in writing the Sri Sai Satcharitra. He questions his own qualifications, asking, "what qualification do I have?" He firmly believes that the work is not his own but that Sai Baba Himself is the one getting it accomplished. The author sees himself as a mere vessel or instrument. As described in this chapter, he beautifully describes Sai as the "illuminator of my speech" and a "capable lamp of knowledge" who destroys the darkness of ignorance. This faith in Sai stilled the wavering of his mind and made the monumental task feel effortless.
