As explained in Chapter 2, the author pauses the main life story of Sai Baba to explain the origin of his own pen name, "Hemadpant." He provides a few reasons for this digression. Firstly, he recalls a promise made to the listeners at the end of the first chapter to tell this story. Secondly, he anticipates that readers will naturally become curious about the identity of "the devotee Hemadpant" whose name appears at the end of every chapter. He believes that telling this sub-story will satisfy that curiosity and that the inspiration to do so is itself from Sai Baba, ensuring the sequence of the main story will continue right after.
Describe the author's justification for pausing the main narrative to tell the story of how he was named Hemadpant.
