According to Sai Baba, what are the spiritual benefits of engaging with his stories, and what is the ultimate goal for the devotee?

Sai Baba explains that his stories serve as a "resting place for the soul." In Chapter 2, he details the profound spiritual benefits a devotee can gain. He states that by hearing, singing, and contemplating his stories with true feeling, devotion to him is born and ignorance is immediately destroyed. This process cultivates faith, which in turn leads to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. The ultimate goal, as Sai describes it, is for the devotee to gain knowledge of their true form, allowing the soul and Shiva to find harmony. He equates this achievement to attaining the entire goal of the Vedas.
