How does the author, Hemad, describe his own role in the creation of these stories about Sai?

In Chapter 47, the author, Hemad, portrays himself as a humble instrument or a mere vessel for a divine source. He explicitly states, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." He further diminishes his own role by posing the rhetorical question, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." This illustrates his belief that he is not the true creator of the stories but simply a conduit through whom Sai Baba's teachings and narratives flow to the devotees, as if from an endless ocean.
