How does the author of the Sai Satcharitra describe his own role in narrating the events in Chapter 47?

In Chapter 47, the author presents himself not as the originator of the story, but as a humble instrument for Shri Sai. He explicitly states that Sai is the true narrator, writing, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." This shows that he views the work as a direct transmission from his Guru. The author further expresses his humility by telling the listeners, "though I am the speaker of this story, I am as empty as you are if I do not grasp the distilled essence here." According to the text of Chapter 47, the author's role is simply to be a channel for Sai's divine speech.
