What inspired Hemadpant to write the Shri Sai Satcharitra, according to the first chapter?

According to the concluding passages of Chapter 1, the author Hemadpant's inspiration to write the Shri Sai Satcharitra came directly from witnessing the profound and mysterious nature of Sai Baba's actions. Specifically reflecting on the wheat grinding incident, Hemadpant was struck by the "inconceivable cause and effect" of Baba's leela—the connection between grinding wheat and dispelling a cholera epidemic. This realization filled his soul with wonder and his heart with a surge of love. As described in Chapter 1, he felt an overwhelming desire to "sing the sweet story of Baba to my heart's content," comparing the feeling to waves arising in an ocean of milk. This divine inspiration, born from observing Baba's incomprehensible yet benevolent power, is presented as the primary motivation for composing the sacred text.
