According to Sai Baba, what are the spiritual benefits of hearing and contemplating His stories?

According to the teachings found in Chapter 2, Sai Baba explained that hearing, singing, and contemplating His stories yields profound spiritual benefits. He stated that this practice would give birth to devotion and immediately destroy ignorance. Baba emphasized that where there is devotion combined with faith, He is always subservient to the devotee. By listening with true feeling, faith arises in the hearts of listeners, leading to self-experience and self-bliss. Ultimately, the devotee gains knowledge of their true form, achieving harmony between the soul and the divine, and the unperceivable, formless Consciousness manifests. This, Baba noted, is the entire goal of the Vedas.
