Chapter 53 heavily emphasizes the role of divine will, specifically Sai Baba's will, in the completion of the Shri Sai Satcharitra. The chapter opens by acknowledging that Hemadpant's inability to finish the book himself was an exception to the rule, stating, "Nothing happens by one's own will; Baba’s will is more powerful." This theme continues with the new author's struggle; despite efforts by others, including a public deadline announced in a magazine, the summary remained unwritten. The author's surrender to his own limitations and his prayer for divine intervention lead to the conclusion that Sai Baba himself is the true author. As the chapter states, "Sai, the breaker of obstacles... will be the one to write this summary. His glory is immense; my mouth is merely an instrument."
