Describe the narrator's perspective on their own role in telling Sai's stories, as detailed in the text.

The narrator in Chapter 36 expresses a deep sense of humility regarding their role in chronicling Sai Baba's life. The author questions their own authority, dismissing their "I-ness" or ego by stating that the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This suggests that the narrator sees themself merely as a vehicle or an instrument for Sai's will. Chapter 36 reinforces this by explaining that Sai makes the listener and speaker a "mere pretext" in order to fulfill the desires of the devotees, highlighting that Sai himself is the true source and orchestrator of the stories.
