How does the author describe his role in writing the Sai Satcharitra, and what historical parallels does he draw in Chapter 2?

The author presents himself as a humble instrument for a divine purpose in Chapter 2. He expresses the belief that he is not the true author, stating, "Making me his pen, Baba himself will guide my hand. I am merely the owner in name; I only shape the letters." He draws a parallel to the saint-poet Mahipati, who was inspired in the year 1700 (Shaka) by saints to write their biographies. Similarly, he notes that Das Ganu was given the same service in the year 1800 (Shaka) to write his books. By invoking these historical examples, the author positions his work within a tradition of divinely inspired hagiography, where the saint writes their own story through a chosen devotee.
