Chapter 49 seems to start with a contradiction. The author says silence is the best praise for the Sadguru, but then he writes a whole book. Can you explain this?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 49

You've pointed out a beautiful philosophical point from Chapter 49 of the Sai Satcharitra. The author begins by acknowledging that the Sadguru's greatness is so immense that even the Vedas and Puranas grew weary of praising Him, making silence the most fitting tribute. However, he immediately explains that each quality of Sai and His "unfathomable Leela (play)" makes it impossible for him to remain still and silent. He uses the metaphor of tasting a sweet delicacy and feeling an irresistible urge to share it with friends, explaining that sharing the bliss of Sai's stories doubles the joy. Therefore, while he recognizes the inadequacy of words, the overwhelming bliss and the desire to share it with fellow devotees compels him to write.
