According to the beginning of Chapter 36, what is the purpose and benefit of listening to Sai's stories?

The introduction to Chapter 36 eloquently outlines the spiritual benefits of engaging with Sai Baba's life stories. It states that these narratives are not just tales but are like 'the very water of self-bliss,' which serves to intensely increase a devotee's thirst for more devotion. The chapter suggests that listening respectfully to these stories removes the fatigue and misery associated with worldly existence, ultimately helping a person attain a state of happiness. It is presented as a path for a 'fortunate soul' who desires to achieve their own spiritual welfare, highlighting that Baba himself provides these stories to fulfill the desires of his devotees.
