How is the act of storytelling and the role of the author, Hemadpant, described in Chapter 47?

πŸ“– Chapter 47

In a fascinating meta-narrative, Chapter 47 explains that the true source of the stories is Sai Baba himself. The text states that 'Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account.' As further detailed in Chapter 47, the author, Hemadpant, is described as being merely a 'nickname,' suggesting his role is simply that of a scribe or an instrument for Sai's divine will. The chapter beautifully illustrates this by saying, 'Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face,' implying that the divine source is all-encompassing and the human author is secondary to the process.
