The author, Hemadpant, was profoundly moved by the event of Baba grinding wheat, which became a direct inspiration for writing the book. As he explains in Chapter 1, he was initially filled with wonder at the strange sight. Later, when he understood the true meaning—that Baba was grinding the cholera epidemic and not just wheat—he was struck by the 'inconceivable cause and effect.' Witnessing this divine play, where the connection between wheat and disease was not apparent at first, caused a surge of love in his heart. He felt an overwhelming urge to sing Baba's sweet story, which crystallized into the decision to compose the Shri Sai Satcharitra.
