Chapter 2 establishes a tradition of saints inspiring devotees to write their biographies. The author places himself in this lineage, comparing his work to that of Mahipati, who was inspired in the year 1700 (Shaka), and Das Ganu, who wrote in the year 1800 (Shaka). Just as they were instruments for the saints, the author feels he is a pen guided by Sai Baba's hand. The chapter also highlights the diverse nature of Sai's stories, describing them as infinite and comparing them to the Vedas. They include practical advice, narratives based on personal experiences, revelations of secrets, and lessons on one's own karma, all filled with sweet meaning.
Chapter 2 draws parallels between the author of Sai Satcharitra and other writers like Mahipati and Das Ganu. Can you explain this comparison and also describe the varied nature of Sai Baba's stories mentioned in the text?
