Why did the author decide to include the story of how he was named 'Hemadpant' within the main narrative?

The author explains his reasoning in Chapter 2. He had promised listeners in the previous chapter to tell the story of his naming and felt it was important to fulfill that promise. He recognized that listeners would naturally become curious upon hearing "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant" at the end of each chapter. He believed sharing this sub-story, which he considered a form of Sai's inspiration, would satisfy that curiosity and show the appropriateness of the name before continuing with the main life story of Sai Baba.
