In Chapter 36, the author makes it clear that the true narrator of Sai Baba's stories is Sai Baba himself. The human author expresses humility, dismissing the 'I-ness' or ego of the speaker and stating that 'the playful Sai himself takes over and makes his own qualities heard by his devotees through someone.' Further clarifying this point, Chapter 36 explains that Baba uses both the listener and the speaker as a 'mere pretext' to manifest his stories and fulfill the desires of his devotees. Therefore, the human narrator is merely an instrument, while Sai is the ultimate source and director of the narration.
