The author of Chapter 53 feels profoundly unqualified, calling themselves a "fool with a dull intellect." However, as explained in the chapter, their justification for proceeding rests entirely on faith and surrender to a higher power. The author states their one support is "the favor of Shri Dattaguru," whose power is so immense that "He can make a gnat lift a mountain." They pray for compassion and inspiration, believing that Sai Baba, the "breaker of obstacles (Vakratunda)," will be the true author of the summary. The author sees their own role as being merely an instrument, stating, "His glory is immense; my mouth is merely an instrument." This act of surrender to the Guru's will is the sole basis for their ability to complete the work.
