Why did Sai Baba choose an author who was initially described as cynical, arrogant, and having a 'bad intellect' to write his life story?

The text suggests that Sai Baba's choice of an author who was initially cynical and arrogant serves to illustrate a core spiritual principle. Chapter 2 describes the writer as being 'proud of his own wisdom' and 'prone to argumentation.' However, Baba's primary condition was that the devotee must 'dissolve his ego and surrender it at my feet.' As explained in Chapter 2, Baba promised that if the author did this, Baba himself would 'enter with 'I-ness' and write with my own hand.' The selection of a flawed individual highlights the transformative power of a Satguru and underscores the message that the work was not an intellectual exercise by the author, but a divine act flowing through a surrendered vessel.
