As revealed in Chapter 2, the author harbored significant personal doubts about his ability to write this sacred text. He mentions his advanced age, having crossed sixty years, and feeling that his intellect was no longer sharp. He feared that the effort might fail and result in "empty talk." Despite these reservations, his ultimate motivation was his profound love for Sai Baba. He decided to proceed because he believed that the endeavor itself was a form of worship. He felt compelled to collect Baba's stories for the benefit of simple and loving devotees, especially those who had not seen Baba in person, and he discussed this initial idea with Madhavrao (Shama). He was ultimately convinced that Baba himself would guide his hand, making him merely a humble instrument.
