According to Chapter 50, while Hemadpant is the scribe, he is considered only a "nominal cause" for the creation of the Satcharitra. The text emphasizes that one should "Leave aside Hemadpant, for he is not the doer of this Satcharitra." The true source of the words is Sai himself. Chapter 50 explains that "In this, there is no one other than Sai who makes the words speak." Therefore, for the true welfare of devotees, Hemadpant acts as the instrument, but Sai is the ultimate author and subject, creating a state of oneness that readers are encouraged to adopt.
You mentioned Hemadpant wrote the book, but the text says he's not the author. Can you clarify this contradiction?
