Describe the narrative transition that occurs in Chapter 36, from the introduction to the beginning of the new story.

Chapter 36 serves as a bridge, beginning with a direct reference to the previous chapter's "beautiful story of the theft." The author uses this as a starting point to deliver on a promise for a new story that will quench the listener's spiritual thirst. Most of the introduction, as detailed in Chapter 36, is a philosophical reflection on Sai Baba's greatness, the author's role, and the benefits of listening to these holy tales. After this extensive setup, the chapter pivots to the new narrative. The transition is marked by the simple, direct sentence that introduces the new characters: "Two gentlemen from Goa came for Sai’s darshan."
