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.
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?
