In the introduction to Chapter 36, who is presented as the true narrator of Sai's stories, and why?

The introduction to Chapter 36 posits that Sai Baba himself is the true narrator of his own stories. The human author expresses humility, questioning their own authority and dismissing the ego, or "I-ness," of the speaker. It is explicitly stated that the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This concept reinforces Sai's omnipotence and grace. As Chapter 36 explains, he uses the speaker and listener as a mere pretext to manifest his stories in the world, thereby fulfilling the desires of his devotees and allowing them to experience his divine play and prowess.
