If Hemadpant didn't include a story about a certain saint, what does that say about the author and the book's purpose?

Chapter 50 offers a profound perspective on this. It explicitly states to 'leave aside Hemadpant, for he is not the doer of this Satcharitra.' He is described as only a nominal cause, with Sai himself being the true speaker and the one who makes the words speak. The book's purpose is not to be an exhaustive historical record but to facilitate the 'true welfare of the devotees.' The ultimate request is for the reader to attain a non-dual devotion and a 'natural state' (Sahaj-sthiti) where distinctions dissolve. The text's value lies in its ability to foster this devotion, which is considered the supreme attainment, rather than in its encyclopedic completeness.
