In Chapter 49 of the Sai Satcharitra, the author, Hemadpant, explains that he was not the sole creator of the book but rather an instrument for Sai Baba. He states that Sai Baba is the true composer and writer. Hemadpant describes how if he ever felt lazy or forgot the narrative, Sai would provide the remembrance at the perfect moment. He mentions that stories would manifest so unexpectedly that he felt compelled to pick up his pen. The chapter clarifies that Sai Baba prompted him to start the Satcharita for his own self-interest and for the benefit of other devotees, concluding that without Sai's divine inspiration, the work would have been dry and lifeless.
How does the author of the Satcharitra describe his writing process in chapter 49? Did he write it all by himself?
