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

Chapter 40 explains that the author, Hemadpant, sees himself not as the true creator of the work but as a mere instrument of Sai Baba. He explicitly states that he is a "puppet of Sai, dancing to the pull of His strings." He urges listeners not to attribute virtues or faults to him, as they all belong to Sai. The text emphasizes that Sai is the original stimulator of consciousness who performs His own story, and Hemadpant is simply the vehicle for this expression, a concept detailed in the fortieth chapter.
