The author of the text expresses feelings of inadequacy. How does he reconcile these feelings with the task of writing Sai Baba's life story?

The author grapples significantly with his perceived inadequacy, describing himself as the "most insignificant of all" and a "bundle of rags." However, as explained in Chapter 3, he justifies this monumental task by viewing it as a supreme command from Baba that he cannot refuse without becoming a sinner. He resolves this internal conflict by understanding that he is merely an instrument. He 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 realization, mentioned in Chapter 3, allows him to proceed, trusting that Sai Baba himself is the true author working through him.
