Could you explain the intended structure of the Shri Sai Satcharita's chapters and the anomaly concerning Chapter 52?

📖 Chapter 0📖 Chapter 52

As described in Chapter 0, the author, Annasaheb, generally structured each of the first 51 chapters with a specific pattern: an introduction of Vedanta philosophy, followed by the glory of the Guru, and then the main story. His original plan, stated in the first chapter, was to use the 52nd chapter to provide a comprehensive summary (Simhavalokan) and a conclusion (Avataranika). However, the published version of Chapter 52 lacks this summary and conclusion. Instead, it contains content on the Sadguru's greatness and the benefits of reading the text. The source material suggests that the slips of paper on which Annasaheb had written the intended conclusion must have been lost.
