What personal doubts did the author have before starting this work, and what ultimately motivated him to proceed, as explained in Chapter 2?

As explained in Chapter 2, the author harbored significant personal doubts before beginning the Sai Satcharitra. Having crossed sixty years of age, he felt his intellect was not sharp and his body was weak, leading him to fear that the effort might fail and result in nothing but empty talk. He even mentioned these doubts to Madhavrao (Shama). His primary motivation to overcome this hesitation was a deep, obsessive desire to collect Baba's stories for the sake of simple and loving devotees. He resolved that even if his effort was just 'talk,' it should be for Sai's love to achieve a spiritual purpose, placing his faith in Baba to guide his hand as the true author.
