Can you describe the initial character of the author, Hemadpant, as revealed in the text?

As detailed in Chapter 2, the author, who would later be known as Hemadpant, describes his initial character in a self-critical manner. He admits to being mischievous, talkative, cynical, and critical. He states he was arrogant about his knowledge, always proud of his own wisdom, and prone to argumentation. He confesses to having a bad intellect and a logic-driven mind, acknowledging that at the time, he knew nothing of a Satguru's greatness. This candid self-description sets the stage for the story of how he was given the name "Hemadpant," which is promised as a sub-story within the main narrative.
