The author, identified at the end of the chapter as Hemadpant, was profoundly moved by the wheat grinding incident. In Chapter 1, he expresses his awe and initial confusion, questioning the connection between grinding wheat and curing a disease. Seeing this 'inconceivable cause and effect' and how Baba skillfully drove away the cholera epidemic filled his heart with love and a powerful urge to document Baba's life. He states, "Seeing the inconceivable cause and effect, I felt like writing a book." This event served as a direct inspiration, making him want to sing the sweet story of Baba, which ultimately led to the creation of the Shri Sai Satcharitra.
