From the author's perspective in Chapter 45, what is the purpose of writing the Satcharitra, and what is the author's attitude towards this task?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 45

In Chapter 45, the author reveals that the purpose of the Satcharitra is to serve as Sai Baba's 'literary form,' providing a continuous source of remembrance now that His physical form is gone. The author expresses a deep sense of humility, describing himself as being of 'little knowledge' before his 'all-knowing listeners.' He refers to the writing as a 'speech-sacrifice (Vag-yagna)' and attributes its completion to the Guru's skill and mercy, stating that the Guru put 'an ignorant one like me forward' to complete the task. This perspective from Chapter 45 shows that the author sees himself not as a creator, but as a humble instrument for preserving Sai's fame.
