According to the text, what are the specific benefits of listening to the Guru's stories, and who can access this path?

Chapter 3 of the Sai Satcharitra details numerous benefits of engaging with the Guru's stories. It states this practice is a simple means to the supreme goal (Paramartha) that can burn away the five great sins (Pancha-maha-pap) and loosen the bonds of worldly existence, allowing one to regain their true self. The text assures that listening to this "nectar of saints' stories" can free individuals from distress over sensory pleasures. Importantly, as Chapter 3 highlights, this path is open to all. It is explicitly mentioned that for all four castes, from Brahmins to Shudras, as well as for women and those of low caste, listening to the Guru's stories is the one unified means for spiritual progress.
