What was the author's perspective on being chosen by Sai Baba to write the Satcharitra, compared to the roles given to other devotees?

As detailed in Chapter 3, the author expresses profound humility regarding his role. He notes that Baba assigned various tasks to different devotees: some were engaged to build temples or monasteries, some were inspired to perform devotional singing (kirtan), and others were sent on pilgrimages. In contrast, Baba sat the author down to write. The author views himself as the 'most insignificant of all' and marvels at why this 'ocean of mercy' favored him with such a task. He attributes it not to his own merit but to the 'miracle of the Guru’s grace,' which can make a sturdy tree bloom where there is no moisture. He resolves to follow this 'straight path' of studying and writing Sai’s life story.
