How does the author of the Sai Satcharitra perceive their own role in narrating Sai Baba's life and deeds?

The author of the Sai Satcharitra expresses profound humility about their role as the narrator. In Chapter 36, the speaker questions their own authority, acknowledging the infinite greatness of saints. They state that the ego or 'I-ness' of the speaker is irrelevant because the 'playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' This perspective frames the author and the listener as mere pretexts or instruments in a divine play orchestrated by Sai Baba himself. The author believes their purpose is to be a channel through which Sai's stories can purify the ears of listeners and fulfill the desires of devotees.
