According to Chapter 40, the primary inspiration for writing the Shri Sai Satcharitra arose from witnessing Sai Baba's divine actions, specifically the act of grinding grain. This sparked a powerful desire in the author's mind to describe such deeds, believing that doing so would destroy impurities and sins. The chapter provides a theological justification for this work by stating that God (Hari) loves the praise of His devotees even more than His own praise. To lend authority to this claim, the author cites the Bhavishyottara Purana, where Tripurari (Shiva) makes a similar statement, suggesting that the book was undertaken with divine approval for the benefit of all devotees.
