The author who completed the book after Hemadpant's death expressed profound humility and feelings of inadequacy. As described in Chapter 53, this individual felt dejected, calling themselves a "fool with a dull intellect, having no scent of knowledge" and completely "blind to poetry." Their confidence came not from personal skill, but from complete faith in divine intervention. The author prayed to the Guru, believing His power was so great He could "make a gnat lift a mountain." Ultimately, they surrendered to the belief that Sai Baba himself, the "breaker of obstacles," would be the true author of the summary, using the writer's mouth simply as an instrument for His divine work.
Why did the author who finished the Shri Sai Satcharitra feel inadequate, and what did they believe was the source of their ability to complete the work?
