Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra reveals a fascinating concept about the narration of Sai's life. It suggests that the speaker or author is merely a vessel, and it is the "playful Sai himself" who takes over and makes his own qualities known to his devotees through them. The text dismisses the "I-ness" or ego of the speaker, attributing the storytelling directly to Sai Baba's will. As mentioned in this chapter, Sai loves his own stories deeply and constantly provides memories of them, using the listener and speaker as a "mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of his followers.
