It seems a little too convenient that the book itself claims Sai Baba authorized it and is personally writing it. How do we know this isn't just the author trying to add authority to his own work?

The narrative structure in Chapter 2 directly confronts this potential skepticism by framing the book's origin as a divine mandate. The author recounts the moment Sai Baba allegedly gave permission, quoting Him as saying, "A collection of stories, news, and experiences should indeed be made... My full help is with it." The claim that Sai Baba himself is the true author—"I myself shall write my own story!"—is presented as a core condition of the work's creation. By positioning himself as just a "pretext" and detailing his own prior flaws like cynicism and arrogance, the author attempts to shift the credit away from himself and attribute the work's existence and authority entirely to Sai Baba, a central theme established in Chapter 2.
