Why is the origin of the name 'Hemadpant' discussed, and what does it reveal about the author's character?

The story behind the name "Hemadpant" is included to satisfy the reader's curiosity, as the name appears at the end of every chapter. The author notes in Chapter 2 that telling this sub-story is also an inspiration from Sai. This narrative serves to illustrate the author's initial character before his spiritual journey began. He describes himself as having been mischievous, cynical, critical, and proud of his own wisdom, with a logic-driven mind prone to argumentation. The story highlights his personal transformation and fulfills a promise made to the reader in the previous chapter before continuing with Sai's life story.
