What is the narrator's perspective on their own role in telling the stories of Sai Baba?

The narrator of the Shri Sai Satcharitra expresses a profound sense of humility regarding their role. In Chapter 36, the author explicitly downplays their own significance, questioning their authority and consciously setting aside the "'I-ness' (ego) of the speaker." The text posits that it is the "playful Sai himself" who takes over the narration, making his own qualities heard by devotees. This chapter suggests that both the speaker and the listener are merely a pretext, instruments used by Sai to fulfill the desires of his devotees, emphasizing that the stories are a manifestation of Sai's own will and grace.
