According to Chapter 51, what is the purpose and effect of narrating and listening to the Sai Charitra?

Chapter 51 of the Shri Sai Satcharita eloquently describes the sacred purpose of spiritual narratives. It uses analogies, such as sandalwood soothing heat or clouds showering rain, to illustrate that stories like the Sai Charitra arise to bring joy and satisfy listeners. The primary effect, as stated explicitly in Chapter 51, is purification. The text claims, "By listening to this Sai Charitra, both the listener and the speaker become pure; the ears of the listeners and the mouth of the speaker are sanctified." This emphasizes the transformative and holy power inherent in the act of engaging with the scripture.
