Who is considered the true narrator of the stories in the Sai Satcharitra, and what is their intended effect on the listener?

Chapter 47 reveals that while Hemadpant is the scribe, the true source of the stories is Sai Baba himself. The text states, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." It further clarifies, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." The intended effect of these stories is profound spiritual transformation. According to Chapter 47, upon hearing them, listeners can sever the bonds of Karma, forget their bodily consciousness, and become overwhelmed with divine love. The ultimate goal is for listeners to grasp the inner meaning and achieve the fulfillment of their purpose.
