How does the narrator, Hemadpant, describe his own role in the telling of Sai's stories in Chapter 47?

In Chapter 47, the narrator, Hemadpant, presents himself with great humility, diminishing his own role in authoring the stories. He posits that Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face, and in that context, Hemad is merely a nickname or an empty vessel. The text suggests that Sai Baba is the true narrator, entering the writer's heart to narrate the account himself. Hemadpant requests listeners to focus on the inner meaning of the story from Sai's mouth, stating that he, the speaker, is as empty as the listeners if he doesn't grasp the distilled essence of the teachings. This highlights the belief that the stories are a direct divine transmission from Sai Baba.
