In Chapter 36, the author expresses deep humility about their role as the narrator. Acknowledging the infinite greatness of saints, the author questions their own authority to describe it, stating, "What authority do I have?" The text suggests that the ego of the speaker, or "I-ness," is set aside, as the "playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone." This passage from Chapter 36 indicates that the author sees themselves as a mere instrument or pretext, with Sai Baba being the true orchestrator of the narration, using it to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
What perspective does the author of the Satcharitra offer regarding their own role in narrating Sai's stories in Chapter 36?
