In Chapter 36, the author expresses a deep sense of humility regarding his role as the narrator. He questions his own authority and acknowledges the influence of his ego, or "I-ness." He believes that he is not the true storyteller; rather, he sees himself as a mere instrument. The text states, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." Later, it reinforces this by calling the listener and speaker "a mere pretext" through which Sai accomplishes his will. This shows that the author's process involves surrendering his own agency to become a clear channel for Sai's grace and stories.
How does the author of the Satcharitra view his own role in the process of writing about Sai Baba?
