Why should I trust the author, Hemadpant? Isn't it likely he is biased since he's a devotee?

The text directly addresses the role of its author, urging readers to approach the work from a specific spiritual perspective. Chapter 50 advises you to "leave aside Hemadpant, for he is not the doer of this Satcharitra." It presents him as merely a "nominal cause" acting for the welfare of devotees. The chapter further clarifies that "there is no one other than Sai who makes the words speak." Therefore, the book posits that Sai himself is the true originator of the words, and Hemadpant is simply the instrument, encouraging the reader to focus on the divine message rather than the human messenger.
