What does the author of Shri Sai Satcharitra say about their own role in narrating the stories of Sai Baba?

The author expresses a deep sense of humility regarding their role as the narrator. In Chapter 36, the writer questions their own authority, stating, "What authority do I have? I am truly aware of this." They suggest that the "I-ness" or ego of the speaker is insignificant because the playful Sai himself is the true orchestrator. The chapter posits that Sai Baba takes over and "makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone," thereby making the listener and speaker a mere pretext for his divine play and the fulfillment of his devotees' desires.
