Chapter 36 presents a fascinating perspective on the authorship of the Sai Satcharitra, suggesting that Sai Baba himself is the true narrator. The human author humbly dismisses his own ego, or "I-ness," questioning his authority to describe the infinite greatness of a saint. The chapter clarifies that the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." It further explains that Sai Baba, who loves his own stories, uses both the speaker and the listener as a "mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of his devotees. This concept, found in Chapter 36, portrays the book not as a human biography but as a divine manifestation orchestrated by Sai Baba for the benefit of his followers.
How does Chapter 36 describe Sai Baba's role in the creation and narration of his own life story?
