According to Sai Baba, what are the spiritual benefits that come from listening to or reading His stories?

Chapter 2 outlines numerous spiritual rewards for engaging with Sai Baba's stories. Baba explains that by hearing, singing, and contemplating His life, devotion will be born and ignorance will be destroyed. The fourteenth chunk of Chapter 2 states that listening with true feeling cultivates faith, leading to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. This process helps the devotee gain knowledge of their true form, aligning the soul with Shiva. Baba emphasizes that this is the entire goal of the Vedas, allowing the formless, dense Consciousness to manifest for the devotee.
