The author explains the origin of his name 'Hemadpant' to satisfy the reader's curiosity, as mentioned in Chapter 2. He notes that at the end of every chapter, the composition is credited to 'the devotee Hemadpant,' which would naturally make readers wonder who this person is. The author felt it was appropriate to tell this sub-story after recalling Sai Baba's words, 'Do not engage in dualistic explanations.' He saw this explanation as a form of Sai’s own inspiration and promised to continue with Sai's life story immediately after. He also uses this story to illustrate his own personal transformation from a cynical and arrogant person to a devoted follower.
