What is Sai Baba's relationship with his own stories and the people who tell or listen to them, according to Chapter 36?

According to Chapter 36, Sai Baba has a very active and intimate relationship with his own stories. The text states that he loves his stories very much and constantly provides memories of them. It goes further to suggest that the speaker is just a pretext, and it is the "playful Sai himself" who takes over to make his own qualities heard by his devotees. Similarly, as described in this chapter, both the listener and the speaker are mere instruments through which Sai fulfills the desires of his devotees, making the entire process an act of his grace.
