How does the author of Sai Satcharitra describe his role in writing the book, and what divine inspiration does he claim?

The author expresses profound humility, stating he is merely an instrument for a higher power. As detailed in Chapter 2, he believes Sai Baba himself is the true author, who will guide his hand as he writes. The author sees himself as just the "owner in name," only shaping the letters. He draws a parallel to how saints inspired authors like Mahipati and Das Ganu to write their biographies. This conviction that he is simply a pen in Baba's hand gives him the resolve to undertake the task, viewing the collection of stories as a good form of worship.
