Why wasn't the Shri Sai Satcharitra completed by its original author, Hemadpant?

The concluding chapter of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains the unique circumstances behind its completion. As detailed in Chapter 53, the original author, Hemadpant (Dabholkar), had promised to write a summary to conclude the book. However, he unexpectedly passed away before he could fulfill this promise, leaving his work unfinished. Chapter 53 notes that while the general rule is for an author to complete their own book, this was an exception dictated by a will more powerful than one's own, implying it was Baba's will. The chapter poignantly describes how this left everyone's heart grieved and uncertain about how to proceed.
