Chapter 3 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra directly addresses feelings of insignificance by showcasing Sai Baba's preference for the humble and sincere. The author, Hemadpant, expresses his own unworthiness, calling himself the "most insignificant of all" and marveling that the "ocean of mercy" chose him to write the sacred text. He realizes this is a "miracle of the Guru’s grace," not a reward for merit. The text reinforces this by stating that Baba "hungers for the simple and innocent" and is "completely sold to love," but remains stubborn toward hypocrites. This provides immense comfort, showing that Baba's grace is bestowed not based on one's status or accomplishments but on the purity and love in one's heart.
I often feel insignificant. How does the Satcharitra use the author's own experience to comfort those who feel they are not worthy of divine grace?
