The Satcharitra offers a unique perspective on this. Chapter 50 presents a powerful analogy: 'If by fate one finds a pearl and discards the shell, they lose the pearl in their hand.' It suggests we should not get caught up in the external form or perceived gaps but focus on our 'own welfare.' The text's perfection lies not in its exhaustiveness but in its ability to foster devotion. Chapter 50 further clarifies that its purpose is to help one realize that Sai alone is 'the thing to be heard, the act of hearing, and the listener.' The goal is to maintain this sense of oneness, which is the true fruit of reading, rather than finding every specific detail.
You told me a particular saint isn't mentioned in the Satcharitra. This feels like a flaw. Isn't a holy book supposed to be perfect and complete?
