According to Chapter 3 of the Sai Satcharitra, listening to the Guru's stories provides numerous benefits. It is described as a powerful practice that can burn away even the five great sins (Pancha-maha-pap) and loosen the binding ropes of worldly existence, helping one regain their original self. The text states that this act calms the heat of worldly life, brings peace to the soul, and can even free individuals from the distress caused by the desire for sensory pleasures. Ultimately, it leads to natural meditation on Sai, devotion to the Sadguru, and detachment from the world.
