The author of Sai Baba's life story expresses feeling unqualified for the task. How does he reconcile his perceived inadequacy with the divine command to write the book?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 3

The author constantly grapples with his feelings of inadequacy, describing himself as the "most insignificant of all" and a "bundle of rags." However, as explained in Chapter 3, he reconciles this by understanding that the work is not his own but a direct manifestation of the Guru's grace. He feels that refusing the task would make him a "sinner for breaking a command." The ultimate resolution comes from the profound realization that Sai Baba is the true author. The text states, "When the pen was lifted in hand, Baba took away my 'I-ness' (ego). He writes His own story Himself; the glory belongs to Him." This insight transforms his role from a writer to a humble instrument, absolving him of the burden of personal capability.
