Chapter 36 presents a fascinating insight into the authorship of the text, suggesting divine intervention. The narrator dismisses their own ego or "I-ness," stating that "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This implies that the human author is merely a conduit. The text reinforces this idea by noting that Sai Baba loves his own stories and makes the listener and speaker a "mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of his devotees. According to the claims in Chapter 36, the Satcharitra is not just a biography written by a person, but a sacred narrative orchestrated by Sai Baba himself for the benefit of his followers.
