Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that the author is merely a pretext or a medium for the narration. The text explicitly states, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." The author acknowledges their own limitations, questioning their authority to describe the infinite greatness of saints and dismissing their "I-ness" or ego. This chapter emphasizes that Sai Baba is the true force behind the stories, as he loves his own stories very much and uses the listener and speaker as instruments to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
How is Sai Baba's role in the creation of the Shri Sai Satcharitra described? Does the author take credit?
