How does Hemadpant, the author, describe his own role and Sai's influence in the writing of the Satcharita in Chapter 30?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 30

In Chapter 30, Hemadpant expresses profound humility regarding his role as the author of the Sri Sai Satcharita. He questions his own qualifications, asking, 'what qualification do I have?' and states that the work belongs to Sai Baba Himself, who gets it accomplished through him. Hemadpant sees himself as a mere vessel, or instrument. He credits Sai entirely, describing Him as the 'illuminator of my speech' and a 'capable lamp of knowledge' that destroys the darkness of ignorance. Because of his faith in the compassionate Lord, the author felt no effort in the task, and the wavering of his mind was stilled. This passage reveals that Hemadpant believed the Satcharita was not his own creation but a direct manifestation of Sai's grace.
