The author claims to be a 'poor man of dull intellect.' What does this self-description reveal about the nature of the text and the author's relationship with Sai Baba?

The author's self-description as a 'poor man of dull intellect' is a profound statement of humility and devotion. As explained in Chapter 37, this is not a literal assessment of his skills but a way to attribute the creation of the life-story entirely to Sai Baba's grace. The author states, 'Had Sai not been the giver of intellect, who am I to write the life-story? He himself is the teller of His story and the one who makes it be written.' This reveals that the author sees himself merely as a humble scribe or an instrument, with Sai Baba being the true source of inspiration and the ultimate author of the work.
