According to Chapter 36, what is Sai Baba's relationship with his own stories and the people who narrate them?

Chapter 36 explains that Sai Baba has a very active and intimate relationship with his own stories. The text posits that the 'playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone,' effectively diminishing the ego of the speaker. It is mentioned that Sai Baba 'loves his own stories very much' and therefore constantly provides memories of them. Ultimately, as Chapter 36 clarifies, Sai makes the listener and speaker a 'mere pretext,' using the act of narration as a vehicle to fulfill the desires of his devotees, showing he is the true source and orchestrator of his own lore.
