Chapter 53 mentions Hemadpant's unique writing habits. Can you describe them and the philosophy behind them?

Chapter 53 provides a fascinating insight into the character and writing habits of the original author, Hemadpant. He was known for being extremely frugal, to the point that he "never let a scrap of paper go to waste." He would write entire chapters on these scraps and give the very same pieces to the printer, as he "felt pained by wasteful expenditure." Beyond mere frugality, the chapter suggests a noble spiritual intent behind this practice. Hemadpant felt compassion for the scraps of paper and believed that by using them to document the life of Sai Baba, he was redeeming them and allowing them to perform a sacred service to the "Lion among Saints."
