In Chapter 30, how does the author contrast himself with other, more learned devotees, and what ultimate assurance does he find in Sai?

In Chapter 30, the author humbly contrasts his own perceived spiritual standing with that of other followers. He notes that learned Brahmins come from great pilgrimage places to remember Sai's feet, performing recitations and reading sacred texts. In stark opposition, he describes himself as someone 'devoid of proper samskaras and of little power.' Despite this feeling of inadequacy, he finds profound assurance in the belief that 'Even if everyone abandons us, Sai does not forsake us.' This chapter reveals his conviction that he is merely a vessel and that Sai is the true illuminator of his speech, thereby removing any burden or apprehension from his mind.
