According to Chapter 49 of the Sai Satcharitra, the author, Hemadpant, believed that silence was the truest form of praise for the Sadguru, whose greatness the Vedas and Puranas grew weary of describing. However, he explains that each quality and leela (divine play) of Sai was so profound that he could not remain still. He compares the stories to a sweet feast that he felt compelled to share with fellow devotees, believing this would double the bliss for everyone. Ultimately, he reveals that Sai Himself prompted him to start the Satcharita, ensuring the stories were told for the benefit of all devotees and for the author's own self-interest.
The author of the Sai Satcharitra felt that silence was the best way to praise the Guru. Why did he end up writing the book anyway?
