The author frequently mentions his own shortcomings. How does he reconcile his perceived lack of qualification with the monumental task of writing about Sai Baba?

The author's reconciliation comes from his complete faith in Sai Baba's grace and power. In Chapter 3, he admits he is unqualified, calling himself a "bundle of rags" and "blind in the eyes of Shruti and Smriti." However, he doesn't let this stop him because the command to write came from Baba. He sees Baba as the "staff for me, the blind man," who will guide him step by step. He believes that the Guru's grace is a miracle that can make a "sturdy tree may bloom and spread thick foliage effortlessly" where there is no moisture. Ultimately, he concludes that Sai Baba Himself is the true author, who "writes His own story Himself" by removing the author's ego and becoming the "giver of intellect."
