According to Sai Baba, what are the spiritual benefits of engaging with His stories?

According to the teachings found in Chapter 2, engaging with Sai Baba's stories offers profound spiritual benefits. Baba explained that by hearing, singing, and contemplating His leelas, devotion would be born in the hearts of devotees, and ignorance would be immediately destroyed. He promised that where there is devotion coupled with faith, He is always subservient. Furthermore, listening with true feeling fosters faith, leading to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. Ultimately, the devotee gains knowledge of their true form, achieving harmony between the soul and Shiva, and experiencing the manifestation of the formless, dense Consciousness.
