Chapter 2 acknowledges the existence of prior works on Sai Baba. How does the author justify the creation of a new text, and what analogies are used to support this justification?

📖 Chapter 2

Chapter 2 directly addresses the potential doubt from listeners about the need for a new book. The author justifies it by explaining the infinite nature of Sai's life and stories. The text uses a powerful analogy, stating, "Sai’s life is like a vast ocean, an infinite mine of jewels. I am like a Titwi bird trying to empty it—how can this happen?" This illustrates the impossibility of ever capturing Sai's life completely in any single work. Therefore, as described in Chapter 2, the author believes one should find satisfaction in whatever can be told, as each story provides peace from worldly troubles, enthusiasm, and steadiness of mind for devotees.
