According to Chapter 53, the original author, Hemadpant, was unable to complete the Shri Sai Satcharitra because he passed away suddenly. He had made a promise in the previous chapter to provide a summary and conclude the book, but his unexpected death prevented him from fulfilling this. The chapter explains this event as an illustration of a higher power at play, stating, "Nothing happens by one's own will; Baba’s will is more powerful." His passing left his followers grieved and uncertain about how to complete the sacred text, as the promised summary was nowhere to be found in his writings.
Why wasn't the Shri Sai Satcharitra finished by the original author, Hemadpant?
