Chapter 2 provides insight into the author's personal journey in deciding to write the Satcharitra. His motivation stemmed from a deep obsession that grew from witnessing Baba's leelas, creating a desire to collect these stories for "simple and loving devotees." He also wanted to provide a way for those who hadn't seen Baba in person to gain merit. However, the chapter details how he was plagued by self-doubt, which he confided to Madhavrao (Shama). Being over sixty years old, he felt his intellect was not sharp and feared that his weakness might cause the effort to fail, resulting in nothing but empty talk.
