Based on Chapter 36, what is Sai Baba's relationship with his own stories and how does he use them to interact with devotees?

Chapter 36 reveals a unique relationship between Sai Baba and his stories. The text explicitly states that "He loves his own stories very much" and therefore constantly provides memories of them. He uses storytelling as a divine mechanism to engage with his followers. According to this chapter, he makes the listener and the speaker a "mere pretext," essentially using them as channels to narrate his own glories and, in doing so, fulfills the desires of his devotees. The stories are not just historical accounts but are active conduits for his grace, which he uses to redeem beings and support their spiritual goals.
