How does the author describe his own role in narrating Sai's stories, and what advice is given to listeners?

The author clarifies that he is merely a vessel for the narration. Chapter 47 states that Sai himself is the true narrator, being the "eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears," who entered the author's heart to tell the story. In fact, the text posits that Sai Samarth is the story, the speaker, and the face, while 'Hemad' is just a nickname. For listeners, the advice is to focus on the inner meaning and moral of the stories to achieve their purpose. By doing so, listeners can forget their bodily consciousness and experience divine love.
