According to the text, what is the purpose of listening to the story in Chapter 47 and what effect can it have on the listener?

Chapter 47 states that the story it contains is supremely holy and has a profound purpose. The text claims its greatness is marvelous and that upon hearing it, listeners, whether wise or ignorant, will have their bonds of Karma severed. It is said that Sai himself narrated this account and that listeners will be so moved they will forget their bodily consciousness and be overwhelmed by divine love. As Chapter 47 suggests, by focusing on the inner meaning and moral, listeners can achieve the fulfillment of their life's purpose and find peace from the weariness of worldly existence.
