According to Sai Baba, when does a devotee achieve self-bliss and destroy ignorance?

In Chapter 2, Sai Baba outlines a clear sequence for spiritual attainment. He explains that by hearing, singing, and contemplating his stories, devotion will be born and ignorance will be destroyed immediately. He states that where there is devotion combined with faith, he becomes subservient to the devotee. Through this process of listening with true feeling, faith arises, which in turn naturally leads to self-experience and self-bliss. This culminates in the devotee attaining a state of happiness and gaining knowledge of their true form, where the soul and Shiva find harmony.
