How does the author, Hemad, describe his role and agency in the creation of this book in Chapter 40?

In Chapter 40, the author, Hemad, makes it very clear that he is not the true originator of the work. He explicitly states that Sai is the original stimulator of consciousness and is the one performing His own story. Hemad uses the metaphor of being a puppet of Sai, dancing only to the pull of His strings. He urges listeners not to attribute any virtues or faults to him, as they belong to Sai. This chapter emphasizes that the entire composition was inspired and approved by Sai Baba Himself for the ultimate welfare of the devotees.
