Chapter 53 provides interesting details about Hemadpant's character, portraying him as exceptionally frugal and resourceful. He was known for never letting a scrap of paper go to waste and had a unique writing process where he would compose chapters on these very scraps. He would then give these same scraps directly to the printer to avoid what he felt was wasteful expenditure. The chapter even poetically suggests he felt a noble compassion for these 'poor, lifeless scraps of paper,' wanting them to be redeemed through the service of Sai Baba. This practice was so consistent that his final, unfinished chapter was also found written on such scraps.
