How did Hemadpant view his own role in composing the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

Hemadpant expresses profound humility regarding his role as the author of the Shri Sai Satcharitra. In Chapter 44, he makes it clear that he sees himself merely as a scribe or an instrument for a higher power. He explicitly states, "The capable Sai is their speaker; He is the writer and the one who makes me write." He further describes himself as the "owner of the leftovers" in Sai's great feast, suggesting he is simply collecting and distributing the blessed stories (Shirani) that originate from Sai. This perspective underscores his complete devotion and belief that Sai Baba himself is the true source of the sacred text.
