Based on Chapter 36, what is Sai Baba's personal involvement in the telling of his own life stories and for what purpose?

Chapter 36 explains that Sai Baba is not a passive subject of his stories but an active participant in their telling. The text states that the "playful Sai himself takes over" the speaker, making them a mere pretext to have his own qualities heard by his devotees. The purpose of this is twofold: he loves his own stories very much, and he uses them as a medium to fulfill the desires of his followers. By constantly providing memories of his life, he ensures his devotees are protected, lack for nothing, and are guided towards their spiritual welfare.
