What role does Sai Baba himself play in the narration of his life story, as detailed in the Satcharitra?

As described in Chapter 36, Sai Baba is not merely the subject of the stories but is also the active agent behind their telling. The author dismisses their own 'I-ness' or ego, stating that the 'playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' This suggests that the human narrator is simply a vehicle for Sai's divine will. The text reinforces this by noting that Sai Baba loves his own stories and 'constantly provides memories of them,' making the listener and speaker a 'mere pretext' to achieve his ultimate goal: fulfilling the desires of his devotees. He is both the source and the storyteller.
