What is the narrator's perspective on their own role in writing the Shri Sai Satcharitra?

In Chapter 36, the narrator expresses profound humility regarding their role. They question their own authority, stating, 'What authority do I have? I am truly aware of this.' The narrator dismisses their own ego or 'I-ness' in the act of writing, attributing the entire process to Sai Baba himself. The text explains that the 'playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' Thus, the narrator sees themselves as a mere pretext or instrument, with Sai Baba being the true source who fulfills the desires of devotees by making his stories known.
