How does the text explain Sai Baba's role as both the subject and the source of his own stories?

Chapter 36 presents a profound concept regarding the narration of Sai's life. It posits that the human author's 'I-ness' or ego is set aside, and it is the 'playful Sai himself' who takes over to make his own qualities known to his devotees. The text explains that Baba makes the listener and speaker a 'mere pretext' for the stories to be told, as he loves his own stories and constantly provides memories of them. In this way, he is not just the subject of the tales but also the detached, divine entity who causes these events and their narration to occur, thereby fulfilling the desires of the devotees.
