Then why should I undertake such a difficult job? Who can describe the true life of Sai Baba? Sai Baba’s grace alone can enable one to accomplish this difficult work. Being a jack of all trades but master of none, I was quite unqualified for this job. Some are given the work of building temples and maths, or ghats (flight of steps) on rivers some are made to sing the glories of God some are sent on pilgrimages but to me was allotted the work of writing the Sat Charita. The Lord entrusts different works to different devotees.
The simple remembrance of My name as ‘Sai, Sai’ will do away with sins of speech and hearing". The pride and egoism of My devotees will vanish, the mind of the hearers will be set at rest and if it has wholehearted and complete faith, it will be one with Supreme Consciousness.
This is the way of happiness and contentment. So, hear My stories with respect and think and meditate on them, assimilate them. If My stories are listened to, all the diseases will be got rid of. How can they be conscious of worldly objects and sensations, who utter My name, who worship Me, who think of My stories and My life and who thus always remember Me? I shall draw out My devotees from the jaws of Death.

Then turning to Shama (Madhavrao Deshpande) Sai Baba said. Hearing this, author was much pleased, and he at once became fearless and confident, and thought that work was bound to be a success. If my Leelas are written, the Avidya (nescience) will vanish and if they are attentively, and devoutly listened to, the consciousness of the worldly existence will abate, and strong waves of devotion, and love will rise up and if one dives deep into My Leelas, he would get precious jewels of knowledge."
