In the introduction to Chapter 36, the author expresses a deep sense of humility regarding their role in narrating Sai's life. The author questions their own authority, acknowledging the infinite greatness of saints which no one can truly describe. They explicitly state, 'Enough of this "I-ness" (ego) of the speaker,' and attribute the storytelling to Sai Baba himself. The author believes that the playful Sai takes over, making his own qualities heard through the writer, who is merely a pretext or instrument. This perspective emphasizes that the Satcharitra is not a product of human ego but a manifestation of Sai's own will to connect with his devotees.
