In Chapter 47, the author Hemadpant humbly describes his role as insignificant, stating that 'Hemad' is merely a nickname. He posits that Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face, with Hemadpant acting as a simple instrument. As mentioned in this chapter, the text beautifully illustrates the abundance of Sai's stories by comparing them to an ocean or the shade of a Kalpataru (wish-fulfilling tree), where a desire for a story is fulfilled as soon as it arises. This implies that the source of these narratives is the divine grace of Sai Baba, not the effort of the writer.
How does Hemadpant describe his role as the author in Chapter 47, and what does he say about the nature of Sai Baba's stories?
