According to the narrator in Chapter 36, what is their role in telling Sai's stories?

In Chapter 36, the narrator expresses a profound sense of humility about their role, questioning their own authority by stating, 'What authority do I have? I am truly aware of this.' The text explicitly notes that the 'I-ness' (ego) of the speaker is set aside, positing that it is the 'playful Sai himself' who takes over the narration to make his qualities known to his followers. This perspective, as found in Chapter 36, frames the narrator not as an author but as a mere instrument or a 'pretext' through whom Sai Baba’s divine stories are channeled to purify the listeners and fulfill the desires of devotees.
