How does the author, Hemadpant, perceive his own role in composing the Shri Sai Satcharitra, as explained in Chapter 40?

In Chapter 40, the author, Hemadpant, explicitly denies being the true creator of the work. He presents himself as merely an instrument of Sai Baba. The text uses the powerful analogy of a puppet, stating, 'I am merely a puppet of Sai, dancing to the pull of His strings.' Hemadpant insists that Sai is the one who approves the stories, provides the intelligence, and stimulates the consciousness to perform His own story. Therefore, as described in Chapter 40, he urges listeners not to attribute any virtues or faults in the writing to him, as they all belong to Sai, the divine puppeteer.
