The author explains his reasoning for including this personal story in Chapter 2. He recalls Sai Baba's words, "Do not engage in dualistic explanations," which reminds him of a promise made to the listeners in the previous chapter to explain the origin of his name. Since every chapter of the "Sai Leela" book concludes with the line "Composed by the devotee Hemadpant," a doubt naturally arises about who this person is. To satisfy this curiosity and reveal the appropriateness of the name, he decides to narrate this sub-story. He attributes this decision not to himself but to Sai's inspiration, framing it as a necessary diversion before continuing with Sai's main life story.
Why does the author decide to tell the story of how he was named 'Hemadpant' within the book?
