According to the text, what are the spiritual outcomes for those who listen to and contemplate Sai Baba's stories?

Chapter 2 explains the profound spiritual benefits of engaging with Sai Baba's stories. By hearing, singing, and contemplating them, devotion to Baba is born and ignorance is immediately destroyed. Baba states that where there is devotion combined with faith, He is always subservient. For listeners who approach these stories with true feeling, faith will blossom in their hearts, leading to direct self-experience, innate bliss, and a lasting state of happiness. The ultimate goal, as described, is that the devotee gains knowledge of their true form, the soul and Shiva find harmony, and the formless, dense Consciousness manifests itself.
