According to the Shri Sai Satcharitra, what are the spiritual effects of listening to Sai Baba's stories?

According to the introduction of Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, listening to Sai Baba's stories provides significant spiritual benefits. The text describes these narratives not merely as stories, but as "the very water of self-bliss" which, when consumed, paradoxically increases the devotee's thirst for more devotion. It is stated that listening respectfully to these succulent stories removes the fatigue and misery associated with worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. Chapter 36 suggests that for any fortunate soul desiring their own spiritual welfare, engaging with the narration of Sai's life is a powerful practice that purifies the senses.
