How does Chapter 36 describe Sai Baba's role in the creation and telling of his own stories?

According to Chapter 36, Sai Baba plays a very active and central role in the narration of his own life stories. The text suggests that the speaker is merely a vessel, stating, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." It further explains that Baba loves his own stories very much and uses them to fulfill the desires of his devotees, making the listener and the speaker a "mere pretext" for his divine play. This indicates that the act of storytelling is seen as a direct intervention by Sai to connect with and bless his followers.
