What is the role of the narrator or speaker in conveying Sai Baba's stories, as explained in Chapter 36?

In Chapter 36, the role of the narrator is described as that of a mere instrument for Sai Baba's divine will. The text explicitly states, "Enough of this 'I-ness' (ego) of the speaker; the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This indicates that the true author and power behind the stories is Sai Baba himself. The chapter further reinforces this by saying Baba loves his own stories and makes "the listener and speaker a mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of his devotees. Therefore, the speaker is not acting out of personal authority but is a chosen vehicle for Sai's grace and teachings.
