What is the author's perspective on his own role in writing the Satcharitra, and what doubts did he have, as described in Chapter 2?

πŸ“– Chapter 2

In Chapter 2, the author presents a very humble view of his role, seeing himself not as the true writer but as a mere instrument for a higher power. He states that it is Sai Baba who, "making me his pen, Baba himself will guide my hand," and that the author is "merely the owner in name." This reflects the idea that saints write their own stories through chosen people. Despite this divine inspiration, Chapter 2 also reveals the author's personal doubts. He mentions confiding in Madhavrao (Shama) about his hesitation, noting that at over sixty years old, his intellect felt less sharp and he feared the effort might fail due to weakness. Ultimately, he resolved that the effort was a worthwhile form of worship.
