In Chapter 49, the author feels that silence is the best praise for the Sadguru. Why, then, does he continue to write, and what analogy does he use to explain his motivation?

The author's dilemma is a central theme in Chapter 49. While acknowledging that "maintaining silence is the real praise of the Sadguru," he finds he cannot remain still because of Sai's blessed and unfathomable Leelas (play). He uses a beautiful analogy to explain his motivation, comparing the experience of Sai's bliss to tasting a sweet delicacy. As the text explains, one does not enjoy such a delicacy alone; its sweetness turns bland without friends to share it. This desire to bring others to the feast of Sai's stories, so that the bliss doubles, is what motivated the author to complete his "culinary arrangement of essence," which is the Shri Sai Satcharitra itself.
