What is the author's stated perspective on their role in narrating the stories in Chapter 24?

The author of Chapter 24 expresses a profound sense of humility and self-effacement regarding their role as the narrator. They begin by stating that claiming 'I narrate' is an act of ego and that one must be egoless at the Guru's feet for the story to flow. The author explicitly attributes the words to a higher power, stating, 'Sai Samarth, the stimulator of intellect, makes me speak these words.' As Chapter 24 clarifies, the author sees themself as simply a vessel, describing the significance of Baba's actions according to their own 'limited intellect,' thereby giving all credit for the wisdom and the narrative to Sai Baba himself.
