In Chapter 40, the author, Hemadpant, expresses profound humility regarding his role in composing the book. He explicitly states that he is not the true author but merely an instrument in Sai Baba's hands. He uses the analogy of a puppet, stating, "I am merely a puppet of Sai, dancing to the pull of His strings." According to the text, Sai is the "original stimulator of consciousness" who performs His own story through the author. Hemadpant urges listeners not to attribute any virtues or faults in the writing to him, as he believes they all belong to Sai. This perspective, detailed throughout Chapter 40, emphasizes that the entire work is an act of Sai's grace and inspiration for the welfare of devotees.
