How does the author of the Shri Sai Satcharitra describe their role in narrating Sai's life, and who is considered the true storyteller?

In Chapter 36, the author expresses a deep sense of humility regarding their role as the narrator. They consciously dismiss their own ego, or "I-ness," stating that they are merely a conduit for a higher power. The text explicitly says, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This indicates that Sai Baba is considered the true storyteller, who uses the author as a pretext or an instrument. This divine process serves to fulfill the desires of devotees and purifies both the speaker and the listeners, as mentioned in Chapter 36.
