How does the author set up the story of how he was named 'Hemadpant'?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 2

The author introduces the story of his naming by first referencing a key teaching, "Do not engage in dualistic explanations," which reminded him of a promise made in the previous chapter. As detailed in Chapter 2, he acknowledges that listeners would naturally be curious about the name "Hemadpant" appearing at the end of each chapter. He frames the telling of this "sub-story within the story" as an act of Sai's inspiration, intended to satisfy the reader's curiosity. He likens this specific naming event to the traditional "Namakaran" or naming ceremony, one of the sixteen key rituals of life, thereby setting the stage for this personal anecdote before promising to continue with Sai's life story.
