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

In Chapter 2, Sai Baba explains the profound impact of engaging with His life stories. He states that by hearing, singing, and contemplating them, devotion to Him will be born and ignorance will be destroyed immediately. He assures that where there is devotion with faith, He is always subservient to the devotee. Baba promises that listening with true feeling will cause faith to arise in the listeners' hearts, leading to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. Ultimately, the devotee will gain knowledge of their true form, achieving harmony between the soul and Shiva, and the unperceivable, formless Consciousness will manifest. Baba calls this the entire goal of the Vedas.
