Chapter 25 explains the divine inspiration behind the writing of the Shri Sai Satcharitra. The author, Hemadpant, states that the desire to write the life story of Shri Sai arose in his heart. Although he felt he lacked the authority, knowledge, or erudition for such a task, he believed that Sai Baba Himself inspired him and made him write the book. The text mentions that Sai gave the command, "Keep the records," which endowed the author's "meager intellect" with the courage and special knowledge needed to complete the work. Hemadpant viewed the resulting book not as his own creation, but as the grace and "Prasad" from the Saint's feet, intended to awaken devotees.
What does the Satcharitra say about how the book itself was created?
