Chapter 53 mentions that Hemadpant wrote on 'scraps of paper.' What was the significance of this detail?

Chapter 53 provides a fascinating insight into the character of Hemadpant and his writing process. It states that he was frugal and would write chapters on scraps of paper to avoid wasteful expenditure. Beyond mere frugality, the chapter suggests a deeper, noble intent. The author speculates that Hemadpant felt compassion for these 'poor, lifeless scraps of paper' and believed they could be redeemed through the service of the 'Lion among Saints,' Sai Baba. According to Chapter 53, it seems Hemadpant's soul wished to gather these discarded scraps and give them purpose by using them to document Baba's life and teachings.
