How does the author, Hemadpant, portray his role in the creation of Chapter 47?

In Chapter 47, the author, known by his nickname Hemad, presents himself as a humble vessel rather than the true creator of the narrative. He asserts that Sai Baba is the actual source, stating, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." Hemadpant further minimizes his own agency by reflecting that he is "as empty as you are if I do not grasp the distilled essence here." As explained in Chapter 47, he goes so far as to say that Sai Samarth is the story, the speaker, and the face, concluding that "Hemad" is merely a nickname, reinforcing the idea that he is simply an instrument for conveying Sai's divine words and wisdom.
