Describe the author's perspective on his own role as a narrator and how Sai Baba is involved in the telling of his own stories.

The author expresses a deep sense of humility regarding his role. In Chapter 36, he questions his own authority to describe the infinite greatness of saints, dismissing the "I-ness" or ego of the speaker. He posits that it is the playful Sai himself who takes over the narration, making his own qualities heard by devotees through the author. Sai is said to use the listener and speaker as a mere pretext to fulfill the desires of the devotees. Because Sai loves his own stories, he constantly provides memories of them, effectively orchestrating the entire process of storytelling for the benefit of all involved.
