In Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the author makes this claim to express humility and to attribute the power of the narrative to its divine subject rather than the human writer. The text explicitly says, 'Enough of this "I-ness" (ego) of the speaker; the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' This statement, found in Chapter 36, frames the author as a mere instrument or channel. The implication is that the stories' ability to inspire devotion and grant bliss comes directly from Sai, who 'constantly provides memories of them' to purify the listeners and speakers and fulfill their spiritual goals.
The author in Chapter 36 claims that Sai Baba himself is the one telling the stories. What is the reasoning behind this claim?
