If the Satcharitra is a complete spiritual guide, why is there no mention of certain well-known saints? How should a devotee philosophically interpret this absence based on the text's own teachings?

This is an insightful question that touches upon the core philosophy of the Satcharitra. When a specific saint is not mentioned, a devotee should interpret this not as a flaw, but through the lens of the book's ultimate purpose as described in Chapter 50. The text guides us to move beyond the duality of 'I' and 'You' and attain a 'natural state' (Sahaj-sthiti) of non-dual devotion. Hemadpant explains that 'there is no one other than Sai who makes the words speak.' Therefore, the absence of a particular story can be seen as part of Sai's divine play, redirecting the reader's focus from the intellectual collection of facts to the primary goal: achieving a pure heart through devotion and realizing the oneness where 'all the tendencies of the senses certainly become Sai-form.'
