According to Chapter 23, why do saints incarnate, and what is the benefit of listening to their stories?

Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra teaches that saints incarnate on earth out of benevolence, specifically for the salvation of what it calls "dull-witted souls." This is described as a grace of the Almighty. The chapter posits that a person develops the desire to hear the stories of saints and find contentment only if they have accumulated sufficient merit (Punya) from past deeds. Furthermore, it is stated that hearing these stories with faith and devotion has a direct, positive effect. The text promises that such listening helps to calm calamities like sorrow and delusion, allowing the devotee to quickly attain a state of peace and spiritual well-being.
