Why does the author pause the main story to talk about the name 'Hemadpant'?

The author, who is referred to as Hemadpant at the end of each chapter, pauses the narrative to satisfy the reader's natural curiosity about this name. As explained in Chapter 2, after recalling Sai Baba's words against dualistic explanations, the author remembers a promise he made to tell the story of how he was named "Hemadpant." He acknowledges that readers would naturally wonder who this person is. He presents the telling of this sub-story as an inspiration from Sai Baba himself, intended to reveal the appropriateness of the name before continuing with the main life story of Sai.
