The text admits the author was cynical, arrogant, and prone to argumentation. Why should anyone trust a book written by someone described as having a 'bad intellect'?

The text directly addresses the author's initial character flaws, describing him as mischievous, cynical, critical, and proud of his wisdom. As Chapter 2 explains, he had a logic-driven mind and was prone to argumentation. However, the narrative presents Sai Baba's divine intervention as the foundation of the book's credibility. Sai stated, "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" The condition for this was that the author must dissolve his ego and surrender it at Sai's feet. Upon this surrender, Sai promised, "I myself shall enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand." Therefore, the trustworthiness of the work is attributed not to the author's flawed human character, but to Sai's divine authorship working through him as a surrendered instrument.
