The text suggests that Sai Baba himself is the true narrator of his stories. Can you explain this concept using details from Chapter 36?

Certainly. Chapter 36 presents the fascinating idea that Sai Baba is the ultimate source of his own stories. The author questions their own authority, dismissing the "I-ness" (ego) of the speaker. The chapter explains that it is the "playful Sai himself" who takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through the medium of a narrator. This is further clarified when the text states that Sai makes the "listener and speaker a mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of the devotees. In essence, Sai is not just the subject of the stories; he is the divine force orchestrating their telling, using human instruments to share his beloved tales and grace.
