According to Sai Baba, what is the purpose of collecting and sharing His stories, and what effect will they have on devotees?

In Chapter 2, Sai Baba grants permission to create a collection of his stories and experiences, stating it will become a "resting place for the soul." He explains that by hearing, singing, and contemplating these stories, devotion will be born and ignorance will be destroyed immediately. Baba assures that where there is devotion with faith, He is always subservient and that this should not be doubted. Chapter 2 also notes that listening with true feeling will cause faith to arise in the hearts of listeners, leading to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. Ultimately, the devotee will gain knowledge of their true form as the formless, dense Consciousness manifests.
