In Chapter 36, the author expresses humility, questioning their own authority to describe the infinite greatness of saints and dismissing their own "I-ness" or ego. The text clarifies that Sai Baba is the true narrator. It states, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This suggests a form of divine inspiration where the author is merely a vessel. Chapter 36 further explains that Sai Baba loves his stories and "making the listener and speaker a mere pretext, he fulfills the desires of the devotees." This frames the entire act of narration as a divine play orchestrated by Sai Baba for the benefit of his followers.
The author of the Satcharitra seems to downplay his own role. How does Chapter 36 explain Sai Baba's involvement in the telling of his own stories?
