In Chapter 47, the author, Hemad, presents himself as a humble vessel rather than the true originator of the stories. He states, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." He further diminishes his own role by claiming he is as "empty as you are if I do not grasp the distilled essence here." The ultimate credit for the narration is given to Sai, with the author explaining that "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." This positions Sai as the divine source and Hemad as the chosen instrument for conveying the sacred tales.
How does the author, Hemad, portray his own role in relation to Sai when it comes to narrating these accounts?
