What does Hemadpant reveal about his own role as the author and the correct way for listeners to approach these stories?

In Chapter 47, Hemadpant expresses his role with profound humility, claiming that he is "merely a nickname" and that the true speaker is Sai Baba himself. He states that if he, the speaker, does not grasp the "distilled essence" of the stories, he is as "empty" as anyone else. He advises that for listeners to achieve the fulfillment of their purpose, they must focus on the "inner meaning of this story from Sai’s mouth and keeping an eye on the moral." This indicates that the stories are not for mere entertainment but are vehicles for spiritual truth, and his role is simply to be the channel for Sai's wisdom.
