How does Chapter 2 explain the concept of divine inspiration in the writing of spiritual texts, and who is credited as the true author?

📖 Chapter 2

Chapter 2 posits that human authors of spiritual biographies are merely instruments for a higher power. It states that saints or the Lord are the true authors, writing their own stories by holding the writer's hand and placing their own hand on the writer's head. To illustrate this, Chapter 2 cites historical precedents, such as Mahipati and Das Ganu being inspired to write their famous works. The author of the Satcharitra applies this same principle to their own work, declaring, "Making me his pen, Baba himself will guide my hand. I am merely the owner in name," thus crediting Sai Baba as the ultimate source and author of the text.
