Chapter 50 provides deep insight into the author's profound humility and his view of the creative process behind the book. Hemadpant portrays himself not as the author but as a mere instrument of a higher power. He expresses this by asking, 'What power do I, a wretched one, have to describe his glory?' The chapter makes it clear that Hemadpant believes Sai Baba is the true originator of the work, stating, 'He himself, out of love for his devotees, reveals this book through grace.' This perspective is a recurring theme in Chapter 50, where the author consistently deflects credit and instead prostrates at the feet of Sai, attributing the entire narrative to the Saint’s will and compassion.
