How does the author of the Sai Satcharitra describe his role in writing the book and to whom does he compare himself in Chapter 2?

📖 Chapter 2

In Chapter 2, the author expresses profound humility, stating that he is merely an ignorant person and an instrument for a higher power. He believes that Sai Baba himself is the true author, guiding his hand and making him the writer in name only. The chapter draws a parallel to historical hagiographers, noting how saints inspired Mahipati in the year 1700 (Shaka) and, a century later, how Das Ganu was inspired to write the lives of saints. Just as those saints took service from their chosen authors, the author of the Satcharitra feels he is being used as a pen by Baba to collect and share these divine stories.
