How does Hemadpant describe his role as the author of Sai's stories in this chapter?

In Chapter 47, Hemadpant portrays himself as a mere instrument for a divine narration. He explains that Sai Baba is the true source of the stories, stating, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." Hemadpant diminishes his own role by saying his name is "merely a nickname" and that Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face. He feels that because he is under the protection of a wish-fulfilling tree like Sai, there is no struggle to find stories, as they are provided by Sai's grace.
