Chapter 36 begins with a traditional invocation to various deities before reflecting on the nature of Sai Baba's stories. It follows the previous chapter, which narrated a "beautiful story of the theft," and promises another tale to quench the devotee's thirst for devotion. The introduction serves to elevate the act of listening, describing it as a means to remove worldly misery and attain happiness. After extolling the infinite glory and protective nature of Sai Baba, the chapter sets the stage for a new narrative. As stated at the end of the introductory section in Chapter 36, the specific story that will be told next involves "Two gentlemen from Goa" who came for Sai Baba's darshan.
