How does the text describe Sai Baba's relationship with the narrator and the act of storytelling itself?

Chapter 36 explains that Sai Baba has a very intimate and active role in the narration of his own stories. The author states that the playful Sai himself takes over the storytelling, making his own qualities heard by his devotees through the narrator. This process removes the "I-ness" or ego of the speaker, who becomes a mere instrument. The chapter further clarifies that Sai loves his own stories and constantly provides memories of them, using both the listener and the speaker as a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees. This suggests that the storytelling process is a divine play orchestrated by Sai for the benefit of his followers.
