Why was the Shri Sai Satcharitra not completed with a summary by its original author, Hemadpant?

📖 Chapter 53

According to Chapter 53, the original author, Hemadpant (Dabholkar), had promised to review the work and provide a summary to complete the book. However, this did not happen due to his sudden and unexpected death, which left everyone grieved. The text explicitly states that while it is a general rule for an author to complete their own book, there are exceptions. It emphasizes a key spiritual lesson: "Nothing happens by one's own will; Baba’s will is more powerful." This event is presented as an example of divine will superseding human plans and intentions, as explained in the opening verses of Chapter 53.
