Why did the author pause the main narrative to explain how he got the name 'Hemadpant'?

The author interrupts the main life story of Sai Baba to explain the origin of his name, 'Hemadpant,' for a few specific reasons mentioned in Chapter 2. He recalls a promise made to the listeners at the end of the first chapter to tell this story. The thought was triggered by Sai Baba's words, "Do not engage in dualistic explanations." Furthermore, the author acknowledges that the line "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant" appears at the end of every chapter, which would naturally make readers curious about who this person is. He felt it was an appropriate time to satisfy that curiosity, viewing the impulse to do so as another inspiration from Sai.
