Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that the narrator is essentially a vessel for Sai Baba's own will. The text directly addresses the narrator's ego, or "I-ness," stating that the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone else. It further elaborates that Sai Baba loves his own stories so much that he constantly provides memories of them, "making the listener and speaker a mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of his devotees. This suggests that the true author and orchestrator of the stories, as described in Chapter 36, is Sai himself, who uses human instruments to spread his message.
