In Chapter 40, how does the author, Hemadpant, portray his own role in the creation of the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

In Chapter 40, the author, Hemad, presents himself not as the creator of the work but as a humble instrument of Sai Baba. He explicitly states that he is merely a puppet of Sai, dancing to the pull of His strings, and that Sai is the true originator who performs His own story. The author urges listeners not to attribute any virtues or faults in the text to him, asserting that if there are virtues, they belong to Sai, and if faults are seen, they are also His. This establishes that the entire composition is believed to be inspired and guided by Sai Baba himself for the welfare of devotees.
