Describe the author's invocation and the stated purpose of telling Sai's stories at the beginning of Chapter 36.

At the start of the chapter, the author begins with a traditional invocation, offering salutations to Lord Ganesha, Goddess Saraswati, the Guru, the Family Deity, Shri Sitaramachandra, and finally Shri Sadguru Sainath. Following this, the text explains that the stories are not merely tales but are like the "water of self-bliss." As detailed in Chapter 36, the purpose of narrating these stories is to increase the devotee's thirst for devotion. Listening to these succulent stories is said to delight the listener, remove the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, and lead to a state of happiness for any fortunate soul seeking spiritual welfare.
