How did Hemadpant's personal habits, as described in Chapter 53, affect the compilation of the Shri Sai Satcharitra after his death?

📖 Chapter 53

Chapter 53 reveals that Hemadpant was very frugal and would not let even a scrap of paper go to waste. He wrote the chapters of the Satcharitra on these scraps and sent them directly to the printer. This habit was born from a compassionate nature, as he felt even lifeless scraps of paper could be redeemed through service to Baba. After his death, his son Gajanan had to perform "great effort in researching" these vast records of paper scraps to compile the work. This unique writing method explains why his notes were so extensive and why finding the missing summary within them was a significant challenge for those who succeeded him.
