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

The author expresses profound humility about their role as the narrator. In Chapter 36, they question their own authority, stating, "The greatness of saints is infinite; no one can truly describe it. What authority do I have?" The text explains that the author believes their own ego or "I-ness" is set aside. Instead, the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." The author, therefore, sees themselves as merely a pretext or a medium through which Sai Baba chooses to fulfill the desires of his devotees and share his own stories.
