Indeed, Chapter 36 presents the fascinating concept that Sai Baba is the ultimate source of his own stories. The human narrator is depicted as a mere instrument. The text explicitly states that the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This dismisses the ego or "I-ness" of the speaker. Furthermore, Chapter 36 explains that Sai Baba loves his own stories and uses them to fulfill the desires of his devotees, making the listener and speaker a "mere pretext" for his divine play. This highlights his role as the orchestrator of his own sacred lore.
The text suggests that Sai Baba himself is the true storyteller. Could you elaborate on this idea?
