Chapter 53 provides a fascinating glimpse into Hemadpant's character. He is described as a 'jewel among poets' and a 'mine of virtues,' with Vedanta flowing from his mouth. A notable characteristic highlighted in this chapter was his extreme frugality. He never let a scrap of paper go to waste and would write chapters on these scraps, which were then given directly to the printer. The text suggests this was not just about saving money but was born from a noble intent to redeem these 'poor, lifeless scraps of paper' by having them perform service to Baba.
