How does the author of the Shri Sai Satcharitra view their own role in narrating these stories?

The author expresses profound humility about their role in narrating Sai's life. In Chapter 36, the writer questions their own authority to describe the infinite greatness of saints, stating, 'What authority do I have? I am truly aware of this.' The author dismisses the 'I-ness' or ego of the speaker, believing that the 'playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' Essentially, the narrator sees themselves as a mere instrument or pretext, with Sai Baba being the true force behind the narration, fulfilling the desires of devotees through these stories.
