As detailed in Chapter 36 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, listening to Sai Baba's stories has a profound effect on an individual. The text describes these narratives not as mere tales but as the "very water of self-bliss." It claims that indulging in these stories removes the fatigue and misery associated with worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. Chapter 36 further explains that for a fortunate soul seeking their own spiritual welfare, respectfully listening to these stories is a recommended path, as it intensely increases the thirst for devotion while simultaneously quenching spiritual longing and purifying the listener.
