Based on Chapter 36, what is Sai Baba's relationship with his own stories and the devotees who engage with them?

Chapter 36 explains that Sai Baba has a very active and intimate relationship with his own stories. It posits that he himself is the true narrator, who 'takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone,' rendering the speaker a mere instrument. The chapter notes that Sai 'loves his own stories very much' and uses them as a means to fulfill the desires of his followers, making the listener and speaker a pretext for his grace. For those who meditate on him or sing his hymns, this chapter assures that he 'never lets them lack anything' and provides complete protection, thereby using his narratives as a vehicle for his blessings and a way to strengthen the devotee's spiritual journey.
