How can a narrator be considered reliable when they deny their own authorship and claim a supernatural entity like Sai 'takes over' the writing process? It seems like a way to avoid accountability for the content.

The author's declaration is framed as an act of devotional humility rather than an evasion of responsibility. In Chapter 36, the author grapples with the challenge of describing a saint's infinite greatness and dismisses their own ego, stating, 'Enough of this "I-ness" (ego) of the speaker; the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' This perspective, as detailed in Chapter 36, posits that the true source of the narration is divine inspiration, with the author serving as a humble medium to fulfill the spiritual desires of devotees.
