Based on Hemadpant's introduction, what is the transformative power of listening to Sai Baba's stories?

According to the introductory verses of Chapter 47, listening to Sai Baba's stories has a profound and purifying effect on the soul. The narrator states that these stories are supremely holy and have the power to sever the bonds of Karma for both the wise and the ignorant. By focusing on the inner meaning, listeners can achieve the fulfillment of their purpose. It is also mentioned that upon hearing the wonder of these accounts, listeners will forget their bodily consciousness and be overwhelmed by divine love, as described in verse 8. The text further suggests that for a soul weary of worldly life, these stories bring a sense of peace, which is considered a great gain (47.11).
