Chapter 14 presents a non-dualistic perspective on the relationship between Sai, the author, and the reader. Hemadpant explains that Sai Baba is the ultimate source, being both "the one narrating and the one causing it to be narrated." He then poses a rhetorical question: "is the listener different?" and concludes, "He too is not other than Sai." This suggests a fundamental unity where Sai is the subject, the storyteller, and also manifests as the devotee listening to the stories. The entire process is described as Sai's "powerful play," in which He becomes the loving player to engage and satisfy His devotees.
