Why does the text say that Sai Baba loves his own stories, and what is the ultimate purpose of their narration?

Chapter 36 reveals that Sai Baba's love for his own stories is not a matter of ego, but a divine mechanism for engaging with his followers. The text explains that "He loves his own stories very much, therefore he constantly provides memories of them." The ultimate purpose of this is to benefit the devotee. By using the listener and the speaker as a "mere pretext," Sai Baba orchestrates the telling and hearing of his life events to "fulfill the desires of the devotees." Therefore, as Chapter 36 illustrates, the narration of the Sai Charitra is an active channel through which Sai Baba connects with people to grant them grace, remove their worldly miseries, and guide them toward spiritual welfare.
