How does the author of Chapter 36 justify their ability to write about a saint whose greatness is 'infinite'?

πŸ“– Chapter 36

The author of Chapter 36 addresses this very issue by humbly admitting their own limitations. After stating that the greatness of saints is infinite and that no one can truly describe it, the author questions their own authority, writing, "What authority do I have? I am truly aware of this." As explained in the chapter, the resolution to this paradox is the belief that the author is not the true agent. The text asserts that the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." Therefore, the author sees themself as a mere pretext or instrument, with Sai Baba being the one who actually provides the memories and facilitates the narration to fulfill the devotees' desires.
