If Sai Baba himself is writing this story, why does the author, Hemadpant, get credit at the end of every chapter? Isn't that a contradiction?

📖 Chapter 2

According to Chapter 2, Sai Baba explicitly stated that the author would merely be a pretext for the work. Baba said, "He is merely a pretext; I myself shall write my own story!" The text suggests that this process requires the author to completely dissolve his ego and surrender it at Baba's feet. When the ego is dissolved with no trace remaining, Baba himself enters with 'I-ness' to write. Therefore, while Hemadpant is credited as the composer, the spiritual source of the work is presented as Sai Baba, with the author acting as a chosen instrument for the divine narrative.
