The author's self-description as a 'poor man of dull intellect' serves a specific narrative purpose, as highlighted in Chapter 37. It is a statement of profound humility, intended to emphasize that the true author and inspiration behind the life-story is Sai Baba Himself. The author states, 'Holding the pen in my hand, I write whatever Sai makes me write,' and further questions, 'Had Sai not been the giver of intellect, who am I to write the life-story?' This framing establishes that the sacred stories, including the description of the Chavadi, are not products of human intellect but are divine revelations channeled through the writer, reinforcing that Sai is both the teller of His own story and the one who enables it to be written.
The author mentions being of 'dull intellect' before describing the Chavadi. What is the significance of this statement in the context of narrating Sai's stories?
