How does the author use the introduction of Chapter 36 to set the stage for Cholkar's appearance?

The introduction to Chapter 36 does not set the stage for an appearance by Cholkar, as he is not mentioned in the provided text. The author uses this section to establish a devotional atmosphere and reflect on the nature of Sai Baba's grace. The text explains that Sai's stories remove the misery of worldly existence and that Sai himself, though detached, causes various events to occur for his devotees. According to Chapter 36, on whomever Sai bestows his grace, he shows them various forms and creates many inconceivable events. The stage is actually set for a different narrative, which begins with the arrival of two gentlemen from Goa.
