What is the role of Hemadpant as the narrator, according to the text, and who is the true source of the stories?

Chapter 47 makes it very clear that while Hemadpant is the writer, the true source of the stories is Shri Sai Baba himself. The text explicitly states, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." This suggests that Hemadpant sees himself as just an instrument or a medium. This idea is reinforced earlier in the chapter when the author writes, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." This beautifully illustrates the belief that the divine wisdom and the stories flow directly from Sai, who inspires and guides the narrator, making the Satcharitra a direct transmission of the Guru's teachings.
