Why does the Sai Satcharitra seem to exclusively focus on Sai Baba, neglecting other important saints and gurus? Doesn't this limit its spiritual scope?

πŸ“– Chapter 50

The Sai Satcharitra intentionally maintains a singular focus on Sai Baba as a specific method for spiritual attainment. Chapter 50 clarifies that the book's purpose is not to be a comprehensive encyclopedia of saints but to foster "steady devotion to Sai," which it calls the "supreme attainment." The text encourages the reader to achieve a "natural state" (Sahaj-sthiti) of non-dual devotion, where the distinctions of "I" and "You" dissolve. The author, Hemadpant, explicitly presents himself as a mere "nominal cause," asserting that Sai himself is the one speaking through the text. The book's methodology is to immerse the reader in a state of oneness with Sai, viewing him as the subject, the act of reading, and the reader, thereby purifying the heart and making all senses "Sai-form."
