What is the author's attitude towards writing the Sai Satcharitra, as revealed in Chapter 35?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 35

In Chapter 35, the author, Hemadpant, expresses profound humility regarding his role in composing the Sai Satcharitra. He describes himself as "merely a servant of the command," indicating that he is not creating the stories but simply following Sai's orders to write them down. He uses a beautiful metaphor, comparing himself to the young of a tortoise who is nourished solely by its mother's glance. For the author, Sai's glance is all-sufficient, removing hunger and thirst and providing constant satisfaction. He states that the "waves of words emerge" while his gaze is fixed on Sai's feet, and he simply fills the pot of the holy life story with them, highlighting his complete surrender and dependence on Sai's grace for the creation of the text.
