In Chapter 36, the narrator expresses profound humility regarding their role in conveying Sai Baba's greatness. They explicitly state that the greatness of saints is infinite and that no one can truly describe it, questioning their own qualification by asking, 'What authority do I have?'. The author consciously dismisses their own 'I-ness' or ego, asserting that the playful Sai himself is the true narrator who takes over and makes his own qualities known to his devotees. This passage shows that the narrator sees themselves as a mere instrument or a 'pretext,' with Sai Baba being the ultimate source and orchestrator of the stories being told.
Based on Chapter 36, how does the narrator of the Satcharitra perceive their own ability to describe Sai Baba's greatness?
