According to the prelude of Chapter 47, what are the promised effects of listening to the story being told?

The introductory verses of Chapter 47 make grand promises about the power of listening to the upcoming story. It is described as a "supremely holy" and "purifying story" directly from the speech of Sai Baba. The text explicitly states that upon hearing it, the bonds of Karma will be severed for all listeners, regardless of whether they are wise or ignorant. Furthermore, Chapter 47 suggests that those who focus on the story's inner meaning will forget their bodily consciousness, be overwhelmed by the eight-fold symptoms of divine love, and ultimately achieve the fulfillment of their life's purpose.
