The author who undertook the completion of the Shri Sai Satcharitra expresses profound humility and a sense of inadequacy in Chapter 53. Upon realizing that Hemadpant, a "jewel among poets," could not be easily replaced, the new author's mind became dejected. He describes himself as a "fool with a dull intellect" and "blind to poetry," questioning how he could possibly compose such a work. He turns to prayer, begging for mercy from Lord Dattaguru and Sai-Narayana. He acknowledges that he has no strength of his own and that only through the Guru's grace, which can "make a gnat lift a mountain," can the task be accomplished. Ultimately, he surrenders his ego, concluding that Sai himself will be the true author, using his mouth merely as an instrument.
