According to Chapter 49, the author's primary motivation for sharing the stories of Sai was the principle that joy increases when shared. He explains that while silence is a form of praise, he could not remain still after experiencing Sai's qualities. He uses an analogy, stating that when one tastes a sweet delicacy, the experience is not fully enjoyed alone; its sweetness can even turn bland without friends. The author felt that the "bliss of the self-essence doubles" when shared with a "circle of listeners." This conviction that spiritual joy must be shared for it to be complete is what prompted him to create this "culinary arrangement of essence" for other devotees.
Why did the author feel compelled to share these stories instead of just keeping the spiritual bliss for himself?
