What is the narrator's perspective on their own role in telling Sai's stories, as explained in Chapter 36?

In Chapter 36, the narrator expresses deep humility regarding their role in telling Sai's stories. The author questions their own authority, stating, "What authority do I have? I am truly aware of this." They believe that it is not their own ego or "I-ness" that is speaking, but rather the playful Sai himself who takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees. Chapter 36 explains that both the listener and the speaker are merely a pretext, a means through which Sai Baba fulfills the desires of his devotees and shares his beloved stories.
