Chapter 36 suggests that the author of the Sai Satcharitra is merely an instrument for a higher purpose. The narrator expresses humility, questioning their own authority by stating, "What authority do I have?" and dismissing the ego of the speaker. The chapter posits that it is Sai Baba himself who is the true force behind the narration, as "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." It further explains that Baba loves his own stories and uses the listener and speaker as a "mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of devotees. This implies a belief that Sai Baba is actively orchestrating the telling of his own life story through the author.
