How does the author use the examples of Mahipati and Das Ganu to explain the concept of divinely inspired authorship?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 2

In Chapter 2, the author establishes the principle that saints and the Lord themselves orchestrate the writing of their own biographies, often through a humble instrument. To illustrate this, he provides historical examples. He notes that in the year 1700 (Shaka), Mahipati was inspired to write the biographies of saints. Similarly, in the year 1800 (Shaka), the same service was taken from Das Ganu, who wrote 'Bhakta-Lilamrut' and 'Santa-Kathamrut.' By citing these precedents, the author frames his own work in the same tradition, expressing his faith that Baba himself will guide his pen and that he is merely the writer in name only.
