According to Sai Baba, what are the spiritual benefits of listening to his stories?

In Chapter 2, Sai Baba details the profound spiritual benefits of engaging with his stories. He states that by hearing, singing, and contemplating his life, devotion to him will be born and ignorance will be immediately destroyed. For those who listen with true feeling, faith will arise, leading to self-experience and self-bliss. Baba explains that this process allows a devotee to gain knowledge of their true form, where the soul and Shiva find harmony. He describes this as the entire goal of the Vedas, where the "unperceivable, formless, and dense Consciousness will manifest."
