According to Sai Baba, what are the spiritual benefits of reading or hearing his stories?

Sai Baba described his stories as a "resting place for the soul." In the narrative from Chapter 2, he explains that through the acts of hearing, singing, and contemplating his stories, a deep devotion to him will be born, and ignorance will be immediately destroyed. He assured that for those who listen with true feeling, faith will naturally arise in their hearts. This engagement with his life stories is said to lead to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness, ultimately allowing the devotee to gain knowledge of their true form and achieve harmony between the soul and the divine, which is described as the entire goal of the Vedas.
