In Chapter 50, the author, Hemadpant, portrays himself with great humility, presenting his role as merely a passive instrument for a divine purpose. He questions his own ability to describe Sai's glory, asking, "What power do I, a wretched one, have to describe his glory?" He then immediately provides the answer, asserting that it is Sai Baba himself who is the true author. The chapter states that Sai, "out of love for his devotees, reveals this book through grace." This suggests that the stories and teachings within the Shri Sai Satcharitra are not a product of the author's intellect or creativity but are a direct transmission from the Guru. This idea is reinforced in Chapter 50 when he compares a plowed field and buried seed, which are useless unless the "Cloud of Grace" provides the rain needed for a crop to grow.
How does the author of the Shri Sai Satcharitra describe his own role in writing the book in Chapter 50?
