Why did Sai Baba give the author the name 'Hemadpant', and what lesson did the author learn from it?

According to Chapter 2, the author was given the name 'Hemadpant' as a "speech-arrow aimed at the debate to destroy my pride." The author acknowledges that he was prone to debating without merit, and Sai Baba gave him this name, which was an honor for cleverness, to make him realize this flaw. The author learned a profound lesson: that debating is a bad and extremely harmful trait. This experience was meant to dissolve his pride and ensure he remained humble for life. He came to understand that even divine incarnations like Rama and Krishna submitted to their Gurus, so he had no reason to be arrogant.
