What does Chapter 47 say about the author's role in writing these stories and who the true narrator is?

In Chapter 47, the author, Hemadpant, presents himself as merely a vessel or a 'nickname' for the divine narration. He poses the question, 'who is Hemad?' suggesting his identity is insignificant in the process. The text asserts that Sai Baba himself is the true source of these accounts, being the story, the speaker, and the face behind it all. It is mentioned that Sai is the 'eye of the eyes' and, by entering the author's heart, 'He himself narrated this account.' This establishes that the stories are not a product of human intellect but a direct transmission from the powerful Sai, the 'crown jewel among saints,' as described in the chapter.
