The author, Hemadpant, was profoundly moved and inspired by witnessing the wheat grinding incident and later understanding its true significance. Chapter 1 details his initial wonder at the sight of Baba grinding, questioning the connection between the act and its purpose. When he learned that the wheat was not wheat but the cholera epidemic, and that Baba had ground it to save the village, he was struck by the 'inconceivable cause and effect.' As he states in Chapter 1, seeing this miracle caused love to surge in his heart, and he felt a strong desire to sing the sweet story of Baba. This event served as the direct catalyst, making him want to write a book to share Baba's divine plays with the world.
