What was the author's character like before he fully embraced the Satguru's greatness, and how is this related to the name 'Hemadpant'?

Chapter 2 reveals that the author, who would later be known as Hemadpant, was initially mischievous, talkative, cynical, and critical. He was arrogant about his knowledge, possessing a logic-driven mind that was always proud of its own wisdom and prone to argumentation. This personality is presented as the starting point before his transformation. The text promises to tell the story of how he received the name 'Hemadpant' to satisfy the reader's curiosity, connecting his former argumentative nature to the lessons he would learn from Sai Baba.
