Explore the philosophical concept of ego or 'I-ness' as discussed in Chapter 36, particularly in relation to the author and Sai Baba.

Chapter 36 delves into the concept of ego, or 'I-ness,' by contrasting the author's humility with Sai Baba's transcendent nature. The author explicitly dismisses their own ego, stating, "Enough of this 'I-ness' (ego) of the speaker," acknowledging their inability to truly describe the infinite greatness of saints. Instead, the author posits that the "playful Sai himself takes over" the narration. This is further contrasted with Sai Baba, who is described as being indifferent to the "So-ham" or "I am He" attitude, a state of consciousness often associated with spiritual attainment but which can also be an egoic trap. As presented in Chapter 36, Sai's power and actions are shown to be beyond personal ego, reinforcing the idea that true spiritual expression is a divinely inspired act, not a product of individual assertion.
