What is Hemadpant's stated role in the creation of the Shri Sai Satcharitra according to Chapter 40?

In Chapter 40, Hemadpant humbly clarifies his role in authoring the Shri Sai Satcharitra. He insists that he is not the true composer, but merely an instrument in Sai Baba's hands. He uses the powerful analogy of being a puppet, with Sai as the puppeteer who controls the strings and makes the narrative dance. Hemadpant explains that Sai is the original stimulator of his consciousness and the one who provides the intelligence for the work. Therefore, he asks readers not to attribute any virtues or faults of the book to him, as both ultimately belong to Sai. This chapter emphasizes that the entire book is Sai performing His own story for the welfare of His devotees.
