The text addresses the narrator's humility and perceived inadequacy by presenting a profound spiritual concept. In Chapter 36, the narrator questions their own authority, acknowledging the infinite greatness of saints. The resolution comes with the realization that the ego, or 'I-ness,' of the speaker must be set aside. The chapter explains that the 'playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' This means the speaker and listener are merely a pretext, and Sai Baba is the true orchestrator of the narrative, using the storyteller as an instrument to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
The narrator questions their own ability to describe Sai's greatness. How does the text resolve this issue of the narrator's perceived inadequacy?
