Based on Chapter 36, what is Sai Baba's relationship with the concept of ego or 'I-ness'?

Chapter 36 presents a sophisticated view of Sai Baba's relationship with ego. The author first reflects on their own "I-ness" as the speaker, but quickly clarifies that the "playful Sai himself takes over" the narration. This implies Sai operates beyond the ego. The text explicitly states that Sai is "indifferent to the 'I am He' (So-ham) attitude," a profound philosophical stance suggesting he transcends even the identification with the Supreme Self. He is described as a "swan in the lake of the Supreme," delighting in service rather than self-assertion. This shows he is detached from personal identity, acting as a pure channel for divine play.
