How does the narrator of the Satcharitra view their own role in telling the stories of Sai Baba?

The narrator in Chapter 36 expresses significant humility, questioning their own authority to describe the infinite greatness of a saint. The text directly confronts the issue of the speaker's ego, or "I-ness." It resolves this by stating that the narrator is merely a conduit, as "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This establishes the narrator as a simple pretext, reinforcing the belief that the stories are divinely orchestrated by Sai Baba himself to fulfill the desires of his devotees and spread his glory.
