According to the source material, what is the significance of listening to Sai's stories for a devotee?

According to the teachings presented in Chapter 36, listening respectfully to the narration of Sai's stories is essential for any fortunate soul desiring their own spiritual welfare. The chapter describes these stories not merely as tales, but as the "very water of self-bliss" which removes the misery of worldly existence and brings about a state of happiness. It is also mentioned that Sai Baba himself loves his own stories very much and uses them as a medium to fulfill the desires of his devotees. The text suggests that by making the listener and speaker a mere pretext, Sai provides memories of his deeds and supports the spiritual goals of his followers.
