In Chapter 40 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, Hemadpant humbly clarifies his role as a mere instrument for a divine purpose. He explicitly states that he is not the true author, but rather a puppet dancing to the pull of Sai Baba's strings. The chapter explains that Sai is the one who provides the intelligence and inspiration, essentially performing His own story through Hemadpant. The author urges listeners not to attribute any virtues or faults in the writing to him, as both originate from and belong to Sai. This perspective, as detailed in Chapter 40, frames the entire book as a direct manifestation of Sai's will for the welfare of devotees.
