The author of the 'Sai Leela' book is referred to as Hemadpant. Can you explain his original character and how the story of his name came to be told?

The author promised to explain how he received the name "Hemadpant" at the end of the first chapter, a story he tells in Chapter 2. He describes his initial character as being mischievous, talkative, cynical, and critical. He was always proud of his own wisdom, had a logic-driven mind, and was prone to argumentation. He admits he knew nothing of a Satguru's greatness. The decision to tell this story was prompted by remembering Sai Baba's words, "Do not engage in dualistic explanations," which made him reflect on his own transformation and the appropriateness of the name given to him.
