In Chapter 40, the author Hemadpant makes it very clear that he does not consider himself the true composer of the Shri Sai Satcharitra. He states that Sai is the original stimulator of consciousness and the one who performs His own story through the book. The chapter includes a plea to the listeners not to hold the doubt that Hemadpant composes the work by his own intellect. He uses the powerful metaphor of being a puppet, explaining, 'I am merely a puppet of Sai, dancing to the pull of His strings.' Therefore, as this chapter clarifies, any virtues found in the text belong to Sai, and any perceived faults are also His, as Hemadpant is simply the vehicle for Sai's divine inspiration.
