According to Chapter 47, what is the purpose of listening to Sai's stories and what is the expected effect on the listener?

The purpose of listening to Sai's stories, as outlined in Chapter 47, is to achieve spiritual purification and fulfillment. The text describes the stories as "supremely holy" and capable of severing the "bonds of Karma" for both wise and ignorant listeners. By focusing on the inner meaning and moral, listeners can achieve the "fulfillment of their purpose." The effect on the listener is profound; Chapter 47 states that upon hearing the wonder of these accounts, listeners will "forget their bodily consciousness and be overwhelmed by the eight-fold symptoms of divine love." For those weary of worldly life, listening to the stories brings peace, which is described as the greatest possible gain.
