The author compares his effort in writing about Sai's life to a "Titwi bird trying to empty" the ocean. What is the meaning of this analogy as explained in Chapter 2?

The analogy of the "Titwi bird trying to empty" the ocean, found in Chapter 2, is used by the author to express the sheer impossibility of fully capturing the life of Sai Baba in a single book. He uses this powerful image to convey that Sai's life is like a "vast ocean, an infinite mine of jewels"—deep, boundless, and impossible to describe completely. The author sees himself as the small Titwi bird, making a humble, seemingly futile effort against this vastness. The point of the analogy is not to succeed in emptying the ocean, but to find satisfaction in whatever can be told and shared, acknowledging that any part of Sai's infinite story is valuable.
