How does Chapter 36 portray Sai Baba's role in the telling of his own life story?

Chapter 36 explains that Sai Baba himself is the true narrator of his own stories. The author acknowledges their own limited authority and states, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This suggests that the speaker and listener are merely pretexts or instruments for Baba's will. As the chapter reveals, Sai Baba loves his own stories greatly and constantly provides memories of them to fulfill the desires of his devotees. He is the one who orchestrates these events, remaining detached while causing them to occur for the benefit of his followers.
