How did the author of the Shri Sai Satcharitra feel about his qualifications to write the book, and what gave him the courage to proceed?

The author of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, as explained in Chapter 25, felt deeply unqualified for the task of writing the book. He states that he lacked the authority, knowledge, and erudition necessary for such a profound work. However, he believed that the desire to write was not his own but an inspiration from Sai Baba Himself. The author felt that Sai, the 'supreme embodiment of mercy,' made him, a 'poor soul,' write the book to awaken other devotees. He gained courage when he felt Sai gave him the command to 'Keep the records,' at which moment his 'meager intellect became endowed with courage and special knowledge.'
