How does Chapter 36 describe Sai Baba's role in the creation of the Shri Sai Satcharitra itself?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 36

Chapter 36 provides a fascinating insight into Sai Baba's perceived role in the authoring of his own biography. The narrator expresses a sense of inadequacy, questioning their authority to describe the infinite greatness of a saint. However, the chapter explains that this feeling of "I-ness" or ego is set aside because the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This suggests that Sai Baba is the true orchestrator of the narrative, using the author as a mere instrument. As Chapter 36 puts it, he makes the listener and speaker a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees, highlighting his detached yet all-encompassing presence in the creation of the text.
