What does Chapter 44 reveal about Hemadpant's role as the author of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 44 provides significant insight into how the author, Hemadpant, perceived his role in creating the Shri Sai Satcharitra. He presents himself not as the true originator of the stories but as a humble instrument of Sai Baba's will. Hemadpant writes, "The capable Sai is their speaker; He is the writer and the one who makes me write." This conveys his firm belief that the work was divinely inspired and authored by Sai himself. He further describes his own contribution as being the "owner of the leftovers," merely selecting and distributing the blessed food of Sai's life and teachings for the benefit of all devotees.
