What does this chapter say about the role of the narrator versus the role of Sai himself in the telling of these stories?

Chapter 36 presents a fascinating perspective on the narration process. The narrator acknowledges their own limitations and the presence of "I-ness" (ego). However, the text quickly clarifies that the true author is Sai Baba himself. It states, "the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This suggests that the human speaker and the listener are merely pretexts or vessels. According to Chapter 36, Sai Baba loves his own stories so much that he orchestrates their telling, using the narrator as an instrument to fulfill the desires of the devotees and purify the mouths of the speakers and the ears of the listeners.
