The author includes the story of how he was named 'Hemadpant' to satisfy the reader's natural curiosity, as explained in chapter 2. At the end of every chapter, the text is attributed to 'the devotee Hemadpant,' which naturally makes readers wonder about the origin of this name. The author states that he had promised in the previous chapter to tell this story and felt it was an appropriate time to do so, inspired by Sai's words, "Do not engage in dualistic explanations." The inclusion of this sub-story is presented as Sai’s own inspiration, a brief interlude to satisfy curiosity before the main life story of Sai continues.
Can you explain the context behind the author being named 'Hemadpant' and why this story is included in the book?
