What is the role of the narrator or speaker when conveying Sai Baba's stories, according to this chapter?

The text from Chapter 36 clarifies that the narrator or speaker is merely an instrument for Sai Baba himself. The author questions their own authority by stating, "What authority do I have?" and dismisses the "I-ness" or ego of the speaker. It is explained that the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This concept, as presented in Chapter 36, suggests that Sai Baba is the true force behind the narration, simply using the listener and speaker as a pretext to fulfill the desires of his devotees and ensure his beloved stories are shared.
