According to Sai Baba, what is the ultimate spiritual goal achieved by contemplating his stories, and how does this relate to the Vedas?

Sai Baba describes a profound spiritual journey for those who contemplate his stories with faith. The ultimate goal, as detailed in Chapter 2, is the attainment of self-realization and unity with the divine. This process begins with the birth of devotion, which destroys ignorance. As faith deepens, one gains "self-experience and self-bliss," leading to a state of happiness where "the soul and Shiva will find harmony." Baba states that the "unperceivable, formless, and dense Consciousness will manifest." He explicitly links this pinnacle of spiritual achievement to the highest scriptural authority by declaring, "This is the entire goal of the Vedas, and the devotee becomes enriched by it."
