What does Chapter 36 say about Sai Baba's relationship with his own stories and the people who tell them?

Chapter 36 reveals a unique dynamic where Sai Baba himself is the true source of his own stories. The text states, "He loves his own stories very much, therefore he constantly provides memories of them." It suggests that the human narrator is merely a vessel, describing the speaker and listener as a "mere pretext" that Sai uses to fulfill the desires of his devotees. The chapter emphasizes moving beyond the ego of the speaker, noting, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone," highlighting his active, albeit unseen, role in the transmission of his life story.
