Chapter 36 suggests that the author is not the true narrator. Can you explain this meta-narrative concept as presented in the text?

Certainly. Chapter 36 presents a fascinating meta-narrative concept regarding its own creation. The author explicitly acknowledges their personal limitations and the trap of the ego, or "I-ness." The text then reveals that the true narrator is Sai Baba himself. As stated in Chapter 36, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." It further elaborates that Baba loves his stories and is "making the listener and speaker a mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of his devotees. This implies that the author is merely a conduit, a chosen instrument through which Sai Baba orchestrates the telling of his own life story, ensuring his qualities and leelas are communicated directly to his followers.
