How does the text explain Sai Baba's relationship with his devotees and the telling of his life story?

According to the insights from Chapter 36, Sai Baba has a very active and loving relationship with his devotees, which is deeply intertwined with the telling of his stories. The text explains that Sai "loves his own stories very much" and uses them to fulfill the desires of his followers by making the listener and speaker a "mere pretext" for his divine play. For those who grasp him through meditation or sing loving hymns, he provides complete protection and ensures they lack nothing. Chapter 36 emphasizes that Sai himself takes over the narration, using a human speaker as a channel to make his own qualities known to his devotees, thus demonstrating his grace.
