How does the author describe his own role in writing down Sai's stories in this part of the Satcharita?

In Chapter 47, the author, Hemadpant, expresses profound humility regarding his role as the narrator. He states that while he is the speaker, he is "as empty as you are" if he doesn't grasp the story's essence. He goes further by diminishing his own identity, claiming that "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face," and that Hemadpant is "merely a nickname." This sentiment is reinforced when he explains that Sai himself narrated the account by "Entering my heart." As detailed in Chapter 47, Hemadpant sees himself not as an author in the conventional sense, but as a humble instrument or channel for the divine words of Sai Baba.
