The author, Hemadpant, was profoundly moved and inspired by witnessing Sai Baba grind wheat. He states in Chapter 1 that his mind was filled with "great wonder" and that seeing the "inconceivable cause and effect"—the hidden connection between grinding wheat and curing a disease—made him want to document Baba's life. This specific event sparked his creative and devotional impulse, as he writes, "Seeing the inconceivable cause and effect, I felt like writing a book." The love that surged in his heart made him want to sing the "sweet story of Baba," which became the foundational inspiration for composing the Shri Sai Satcharitra.
