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

Listening to the stories of Sai Baba holds profound spiritual significance. As described in Chapter 47, these narratives are considered supremely holy and have the power to sever the bonds of Karma for both wise and ignorant listeners. The text suggests that focusing on the inner meaning of these stories helps one achieve their life's purpose and find peace from worldly weariness. It is even stated that Sai Baba himself is the narrator, entering the author's heart to tell the tale, which can cause listeners to forget their bodily consciousness and become overwhelmed with divine love.
