According to Sai Baba, what is the spiritual benefit of hearing and contemplating his stories?

Sai Baba explained that hearing, singing, and contemplating his stories serves as a 'resting place for the soul.' As chapter 2 illuminates, this practice is meant to birth devotion and immediately destroy ignorance. Baba emphasized that He is always subservient where there is devotion with faith, and this is the only way to attain Him. Listening with true feeling is said to generate faith in the hearts of listeners, leading to self-experience, self-bliss, and a state of happiness. Ultimately, the devotee gains knowledge of their true form, the soul and Shiva find harmony, and the unperceivable, dense Consciousness manifests, which Baba calls the entire goal of the Vedas.
