Chapter 36 discusses the paradox of Sai Baba's role as both the subject and orchestrator of his own stories. Can you elaborate on this concept using details from the text?

Chapter 36 presents a sophisticated theological concept regarding Sai Baba's relationship with his own narratives. The text suggests that the narrator is merely a vessel, stating, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This implies that Sai is the true author. Furthermore, the chapter mentions that Sai "loves his own stories very much" and by "making the listener and speaker a mere pretext, he fulfills the desires of the devotees." This portrays him as an active, conscious force who orchestrates the telling and hearing of his life story as a means of bestowing grace, thus blurring the lines between subject, author, and divine benefactor.
