Based on Chapter 36, what is the significance of listening to and narrating Sai's stories?

According to Chapter 36, listening to Sai's stories is a profound spiritual practice. The chapter states that Sai loves his own stories very much and uses the listener and speaker as a "mere pretext" to fulfill the desires of his devotees. The narration is described as the "water of self-bliss" that quenches the thirst for devotion and removes the misery of worldly life. As explained in Chapter 36, by respectfully listening to the narration of Sai's life, a fortunate soul can achieve their own spiritual welfare, and the act purifies the ears of the listeners and the mouths of the speakers.
