The author of the stories about Sai Baba seems to have a personal motivation for writing them. How does this relate to achieving a peaceful mind?

The author's motivation was deeply connected to finding and sharing peace. As explained in Chapter 2, a desire arose to collect Baba's stories as a form of worship, believing that even a few words falling on the ears could make bad days disappear. The author experienced that by studying these accounts day and night, the mind would find peace and rest. This effort was specifically undertaken for Sai's love, so that a spiritual goal could be achieved. The goal was to present Baba's natural outpourings of self-satisfaction to listeners so they too could find rest and complete peace for their minds.
