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

As Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra begins, it emphasizes the profound spiritual benefits of engaging with Sai's stories. The text describes these narratives not as mere tales, but as "the very water of self-bliss" that intensifies the listener's thirst for devotion. It is stated that listening to these stories removes the fatigue and misery associated with worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. The chapter suggests that for a soul seeking spiritual welfare, respectfully listening to the narration of Sai’s life is a recommended path. Furthermore, it is mentioned that Sai Baba himself loves his own stories, and by making the listener and speaker a pretext, he fulfills the desires of his devotees.
