How does the author of the Sai stories describe the role of ego in their writing process?

The author expresses a profound sense of humility, viewing their role as a mere instrument for a higher power. As explained in Chapter 2, the author believes that claiming personal authorship, summed up in the phrase "To say 'I speak' is also ego," is a falsehood. Instead, they see Sai Baba as the true "puppeteer" and "promoter of speech." The entire creative act is framed as an inspiration from Sainath, with the author asserting, "Nothing in this is mine." This perspective highlights the idea that surrendering one's ego is essential for the work to manifest authentically.
