What is the author's stated intention and personal philosophy regarding their role in creating this work?

The author's intention, as explained in Chapter 2, is to collect the various stories of Sai Baba and string them together into a book, which they consider a good form of worship. Philosophically, the author sees themself not as a creator but as a mere instrument. The text expresses this humility with the line, "Making me his pen, Baba himself will guide my hand. I am merely the owner in name; I only shape the letters." This reflects a belief that the Lord or the saints are the true authors, who simply use a person as a vehicle to write their own stories for the benefit of devotees.
