What was Hemadpant's unique and frugal method of writing, as explained in Chapter 53?

Chapter 53 provides fascinating insight into Hemadpant's writing process, highlighting his frugality and unique philosophy. He was known to never let a scrap of paper go to waste and would write the chapters on these very scraps before giving them directly to the printer, as he felt pained by wasteful expenditure. Beyond mere thriftiness, Chapter 53 suggests a deeper, noble intent. Hemadpant felt compassion for these "poor, lifeless scraps of paper" and believed that by using them to document the stories of Sai Baba, the scraps themselves would be redeemed by performing service to the "Lion among Saints." This practice extended even to the final, unfinished chapter.
