The author feels he lacks the ability to describe Sai Baba's greatness. What metaphors does he use to explain how Guru's grace overcomes his perceived limitations?

πŸ“– Chapter 3

In Chapter 3, the author uses several powerful metaphors to illustrate the concept of Guru's grace. He describes himself as a 'blind man' who is blind in the eyes of scriptural knowledge (Shruti and Smriti), but for whom Baba acts as a 'staff,' allowing him to walk the straight path step by step. He also references the inconceivable power of saints that allows 'the mute speak like Brihaspati; the lame cross Mount Meru.' To further explain how the work is Baba's and not his own, he uses natural imagery. As Chapter 3 explains, just as a moonstone oozes nectar not from itself but due to the moonrise, and the ocean's tide is a feat of the moon, his writing is a creation of Baba's power acting upon him.
