What role does the narrator, Hemadpant, claim to play in the telling of the stories in Chapter 47?

In Chapter 47, the narrator, Hemadpant, portrays himself as a humble vessel rather than the true author. He asserts that Sai Baba is the ultimate source of the narrative, stating, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." The text further clarifies this by explaining that Sai himself enters the narrator's heart to tell the account. Hemadpant reinforces his role as a medium by urging listeners to focus on the story's inner meaning, suggesting that the divine wisdom comes directly from Sai, not from his own intellect, as detailed in Chapter 47.
