According to the text, what is the dynamic between Sai Baba, the storyteller, and the listener in the narration of his life stories?

Chapter 36 presents a unique dynamic where the storyteller's ego, or 'I-ness,' is considered insignificant. The chapter explains that the 'playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' Essentially, both the speaker and the listener are described as 'a mere pretext' or instruments used by Sai Baba. He is the true orchestrator, providing memories of his stories to fulfill the spiritual desires of his devotees. This perspective, as laid out in Chapter 36, suggests that the act of narrating and listening is a sacred event initiated and controlled by Baba himself for the benefit of his followers.
