Who is Hemadpant, and what does Chapter 2 reveal about his character before he received this name?

Hemadpant is the name attributed to the author of the 'Sai Leela' book, as heard at the end of every chapter. To satisfy the reader's curiosity about this name, Chapter 2 provides a short backstory. The text reveals that before this naming, the author was initially of a very different disposition. He describes his former self as mischievous, talkative, cynical, and critical. He possessed a logic-driven mind, was proud of his own wisdom, and prone to argumentation. This self-description highlights a significant personal transformation, as he initially knew nothing of the Satguru's greatness and was driven by what he calls a "bad intellect."
