Why should I bother with this book if it omits certain saints? Surely the author, Hemadpant, is to blame for these omissions.

The text directly addresses the role of the author and advises against this line of thinking. Chapter 50 explicitly states, 'Leave aside Hemadpant, for he is not the doer of this Satcharitra. Only for the true welfare of the devotees, he is just a nominal cause.' It presents an analogy: if you find a pearl in a shell, you shouldn't discard the pearl because you are indifferent to the shell's origin. In this context, Hemadpant is the shell, and the teachings of Sai are the pearl. The book asserts that Sai himself is the one who 'makes the words speak,' urging the reader not to get caught up in the vessel and lose sight of the precious content within.
