The narrator expresses a profound sense of humility regarding their role in recounting Sai's life. In Chapter 36, the author questions their own standing by asking, "What authority do I have?" They dismiss their personal ego or "I-ness" in the process, believing that the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." Essentially, the author sees themselves not as the creator of the narrative, but as a mere instrument or pretext through whom Sai Baba himself tells his own stories to benefit the devotees.
How does the narrator of the Sai Satcharitra view their own role in telling these stories?
