In Chapter 36, the author expresses a profound sense of humility regarding their role as the narrator of Sai Baba's life. The text acknowledges the infinite greatness of saints, which no one can truly describe, and the author questions their own qualification, stating, "What authority do I have? I am truly aware of this." It is explained that the author's own ego or "I-ness" is set aside, and it is the "playful Sai himself" who takes over the narration. According to this passage, Sai Baba makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through the author, essentially making both the speaker and the listener a "mere pretext" to fulfill the devotees' spiritual desires.
