What role does the author, Hemadpant, claim to have in the composition of the Shri Sai Satcharitra in Chapter 40?

In Chapter 40, the author Hemadpant makes it very clear that he is not the true creator of the Shri Sai Satcharitra. He describes himself as merely a puppet, with Sai Baba being the puppeteer who pulls the strings. Hemadpant states that Sai is the 'original stimulator of consciousness' who gives him the intelligence and inspiration to write. Therefore, he asks the listeners not to attribute any virtues or faults of the composition to him, as they all belong to Sai. This emphasizes the belief that the entire work is a divine leela, or play, performed by Sai Baba himself for the welfare of his devotees.
