How did the author of the Shri Sai Charitra perceive his own role and the source of his inspiration for writing the book?

In Chapter 25, the author humbly describes himself as a 'poor soul' who lacked the authority, knowledge, or erudition to undertake the task of writing the Shri Sai Charitra. He states that it was Sai Baba Himself who gave him the command to 'Keep the records' and inspired him to write. This divine inspiration endowed his 'meager intellect' with courage and special knowledge. The author believed he was merely an instrument and that the book was a form of 'Prasad,' or grace, from the Saint's feet, written to awaken Sai's own devotees.
