Hemadpant portrays himself not as the true author, but as a mere instrument for Sai Baba's will. He explains in Chapter 49 that the merciful Sainath entered his mind and orchestrated the writing of His own book, which also fulfilled Hemadpant's personal desires. He believed that without this divine inspiration, the narrative would be dry and lifeless. Hemadpant recounts that even when he tried to rest, a story would manifest so unexpectedly that he had to pick up his pen. If he forgot a detail, Sai would provide the remembrance at the right moment, reinforcing the idea that Sai Himself was both the composer and the writer of the Satcharita.
