In Chapter 47, Hemadpant clarifies his role as the writer, explaining that he is merely a conduit for Sai Baba himself. The text explicitly states, "Sai is the eye of the eyes and the ear of the ears; Entering my heart, He himself narrated this account." It further diminishes the author's role by posing the question, "Sai Samarth himself is the story, the speaker, and the face; In that case, who is Hemad? He is merely a nickname." This indicates that Hemadpant believed Sai Baba was the true source and narrator of these sacred stories, and he was just the instrument chosen to write them down.
Who is the real narrator of the stories in the Sai Satcharita, according to Hemadpant in this section?
