According to Chapter 36, what is the relationship between the narrator, Sai Baba, and the stories being told?

Chapter 36 presents a humble perspective on the act of narration, suggesting the author is merely a conduit. The text states that the narrator feels unqualified to describe the infinite greatness of saints and that it is "the playful Sai himself" who takes over and communicates his own qualities through the speaker. This chapter explains that Sai Baba loves his own stories immensely and orchestrates their telling by making the listener and speaker a "mere pretext" to fulfill the spiritual desires of devotees. Therefore, Sai is not just the subject of the stories but the active, divine agent in their narration, ensuring his life story purifies and benefits all who engage with it.
