According to Sai Baba, how does engaging with His stories spiritually benefit a devotee?

In Chapter 2, Sai Baba explains that engaging with His stories through hearing, singing, and contemplation is a powerful spiritual practice with profound benefits. He states that this process will cause devotion to be born and ignorance to be destroyed immediately. For those who listen with true feeling, faith arises, which in turn leads to self-experience and self-bliss. Baba elaborates that the devotee will ultimately gain knowledge of their true form, allowing the soul and Shiva to find harmony. He describes this as the very goal of the Vedas, enriching the devotee's soul.
