What personal motivations drove the author to share the stories of Sai Baba in the Satcharita, as revealed in Chapter 49?

As explained in Chapter 49, the author's motivation was twofold. Firstly, he felt a deep desire to share the bliss he experienced, comparing the stories to a "sweet delicacy" that must be shared with friends and virtuous people, as the joy "doubles" when experienced together. As chunk 0 states, he felt that enjoying this feast alone would make its sweetness turn bland. Secondly, the author acknowledges his own "self-interest." The process of writing was spiritually fulfilling for him, as he mentions in chunk 4 that the repetition of Sai's name, contemplation of His words, and meditation on His form brought him "complete satisfaction" and was the means by which Sai fulfilled his desires.
