Chapter 53 describes Hemadpant as a very frugal person who felt pained by wasteful expenditure. This philosophy extended to his writing materials, as he would never let a scrap of paper go to waste. He wrote the Satcharitra's chapters on such scraps, which were then given to the printer. The chapter posits a noble intent behind this, suggesting Hemadpant wanted to redeem these "poor, lifeless scraps of paper" by having them perform service to Baba. This unique practice, however, complicated the book's completion after his death. When the final chapter was found, also on scraps, the promised summary was not among them, creating confusion and necessitating that a new summary be composed by someone else.
What was Hemadpant's philosophy regarding his writing materials, and how did this practice affect the book's completion?
